Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrogliomas are indolent brain tumors with mean postoperative survival of about 5 years. However, the range of postoperative survivals is wide, suggesting that these tumors are heterogeneous in their biologic behavior. Using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, we stud...
