Abstract excerpt
Brain stem gliomas are pediatric astrocytomas that histologically resemble adult supratentorial astrocytomas such as glioblastomas multiforme (GBM). Our molecular genetic studies have suggested that adult GBM can be divided into two genetic subsets: tumors with p53 tumor suppressor gene mutations and chromosome 17p loss that occur more commonly in younger patients; and tumors with epidermal growth factor receptor...
