Treatment Strategies in Diffuse Midline Gliomas With the H3K27M Mutation: The Role of Convection-Enhanced Delivery in Overcoming Anatomic Challenges
8 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Diffuse midline gliomas harboring the H3 K27M mutation-including the previously named diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)-are lethal high-grade pediatric brain tumors that are inoperable and without cure. Despite numerous clinical trials, the prognosis remains poor, with a median survival of ~1 year from diagnosis.
