Although 1p/19q codeletions define "genetically favorable" oligodendrogliomas, eventual tumor progression and patient death remain constant. Genetic testing is often performed at the time of recurrence, though it is unclear whether these or other genetic alterations provide useful prognostic information. We characterized 138 of 189 (73%) available primary and recurrent oligodendroglial neoplasms from 80 patients,...
