Genetic and Biologic Progression in Astrocytomas and Their Relation to Angiogenic Dysregulation

Abstract excerpt

Infiltrative astrocytic neoplasms are the most common malignancies of the central nervous system. They remain clinically problematic because of their involvement of brain structures critical to proper cognitive, behavioral, and motor function; their widely invasive properties, which make them difficult to resect totally; and their nearly inevitable biologic progression in spite of adjuvant therapy.
