Investigating chromosomal instability in long-term survivors with glioblastoma and grade 4 astrocytoma

Abstract excerpt

Background: Only a small group of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) survives more than 36 months, so-called long-term survivors. Recent studies have shown that chromosomal instability (CIN) plays a prognostic and predictive role among different cancer types. Here, we compared histological (chromosome missegregation) and bioinformatic metrics (CIN signatures) of CIN in tumors of GBM typical survivors...
