Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown that there are distinct genetic pathways leading to the most malignant astrocytic neoplasm, the glioblastoma. Primary (de novo) glioblastomas are characterized by amplification/overexpression of the EGF receptor (EGFR) and, less frequently, of the MDM2 gene. Another pathway, operative in the progression of low-grade or anaplastic astrocytomas to secondary glioblastomas, is characterized...
