Abstract excerpt
Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a neuroepithelial neoplasm with extensive infiltration of large parts of the brain. Recent data showing the involvement of TP53 mutation or nuclear protein accumulation in some cases have linked the astrocytic phenotype of the tumor cells to TP53 alterations frequently found in common astrocytomas. However, the frequency of these alterations is low, and other molecular genetic changes...
