IDH mutations may not preclude distant, trans-tentorial spread in gliomas: a case report and review of the literature.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: IDH mutations have been demonstrated to confer prolonged survival in patients suffering from gliomas, but the mechanisms underlying the improved prognosis are unclear. While some studies have attributed these observations to an enhanced sensitivity to genotoxic therapies, others have postulated that IDH-mutated gliomas exhibit less aggressive intrinsic biological behavior, including the propensity to...
