Early genetic changes involved in low-grade astrocytic tumor development.

Abstract excerpt

Astrocytomas represent the most common form of glial tumors. The most malignant grade of these tumors, glioblastoma multiforme, may arise as a malignant progression from low-grade astrocytoma through anaplastic astrocytoma to secondary GBM, or else it may arise "de novo" as primary GBM. Both types of glioblastoma are usually histologically indistinguishable. However, distinct molecular alterations have been...
