Clinical outcome in pediatric glial and embryonal brain tumors correlates with in vitro multi‐passageable neurosphere formation
29 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cultured brain tumors can form neurospheres harboring tumorigenic cells with self renewal and differentiation capacities. Renewable neurosphere formation has clinical predictive value in adult malignant gliomas, yet its prognostic role for pediatric brain tumors is unknown. METHODS: Established neurosphere conditions were used for culturing samples from glial, embryonal and mixed glioneuronal tumors...
