A group led by the Department of Neurosurgery at the Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, has successfully treated a patient with a brainstem glioma harboring a rare IDH2 mutation. The ...

The diagnosis of brainstem glioma was long considered a single entity. However, since the advent of magnetic resonance imaging in the late 1980s, neoplasms within this anatomic region are now ...

Prognostic Implications of Codon-Specific KRAS Mutations in Localized and Advanced Stages of Pancreatic Cancer IDH-mutant brainstem gliomas have a characteristic clinical and radiographic phenotype.

Gliomas remain some of the most formidable and heterogeneous tumors of the central nervous system, classified as astrocytic, oligodendroglial, and ependymal ...

Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) exhibit distinct biological and clinical characteristics compared to adult gliomas, and their treatment strategies differ substantially from those used in adults.

Fractionated reirradiation is safe for recurrent high-grade glioma, with a median dose of 41.4 Gy and no critical structure injuries observed. Improved overall survival correlates with better ...

Researchers at the University of Sussex, in collaboration with scientists from different institutes worldwide, have ...

These tumors are less likely to spread to surrounding tissues than higher-grade tumors, so they often have better outcomes. In the past, pediatric gliomas were classified into low-grade and high-grade ...
