Adult and Pediatric Medulloblastomas Are Genetically Distinct and Require Different Algorithms for Molecular Risk Stratification
18 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, whereas it rarely presents in adults. We aimed to identify genetic aberrations in 146 adult MBs to evaluate age-dependent differences in tumor biology and adapt age-specific risk stratification models. METHODS: As a screening set, we studied a cohort of 34 adult MBs by using array-based comparative genomic hybridization comparing...
