Abstract excerpt
Although World Health Organization (WHO) grade I pilocytic astrocytomas and grade II diffuse astrocytomas have been classified for decades as different clinicopathologic entities, few, if any, data are available on the biologic features explaining these differences. Although more than 50 microarray-related studies have been carried out to characterize the molecular profiles of astrocytic tumors, we have...
