Abstract excerpt
Molecular classification of brain neoplasms is important for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment outcome of histologically similar tumors. Oligodendroglioma is a glioma subtype characterized by 1p/19q co-deletion and IDH1/IDH2 mutations, which predict a good prognosis, responsiveness to therapy, and an improved overall survival compared to other adult gliomas. In a routine clinical setting, 1p/19q co-deletion is...
