EGFRvIII Deletion Mutations in Pediatric High-Grade Glioma and Response to Targeted Therapy in Pediatric Glioma Cell Lines
8 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is amplified and overexpressed in adult glioblastoma, with response to targeted inhibition dependent on the underlying biology of the disease. EGFR has thus far been considered to play a less important role in pediatric glioma, although extensive data are lacking. We have sought to clarify the role of EGFR in pediatric high-grade glioma (HGG). EXPERIMENTAL...
