Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Since the recognition that oligodendrogliomas may be chemosensitive, their diagnosis and clinical management has become highly controversial. Histopathology diagnosis remains challenging and new tools such as molecular genetics or molecular imaging require evaluation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: In a single-center, population-based prospective study, allelic imbalance in chromosomes 1p36, 19q13, 17p13,...
