Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oligodendroglial neoplasms have morphologic and genotypic heterogeneity. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 1p and/or 19q is associated with increased treatment responsiveness and overall survival. However, the pathogenesis of treatment-resistance is unknown. We sought to determine if tumour progression is due to a proliferating sub-population of tumour cells with intact 1p, or if recurrent tumours...
