Abstract excerpt
The current WHO classification places glioblastomas in the astrocytoma category. However, whether or not glioblastomas also show oligodendroglial differentiation remains a matter of controversy. This study investigates, at the morphonuclear level, the hypothesis that some glioblastomas (GBMs) may also represent the ultimate level of malignancy in the oligodendroglial lineage. Using a series of 164 GBMs, we sought...
