Abstract excerpt
New therapeutic strategies are needed to improve survival in glioblastoma (GBM) the most malignant astrocytic tumor. We evaluated: a) the genetic status of 22 GBMs by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH); b) the specific role of mutation and/or homozygous deletion of PTEN in the genesis of GBM; and c) the possible therapeutic role of PTEN against GBM, in vitro. CGH demonstrated that the most frequent region of...
