Morphologic spectrum of glial tumors: an increased trend towards oligodendroglial tumors in Pakistan
BACKGROUND Glial tumors are most common brain tumors in our population. While the exact etiology and pathogenesis is unknown, the evaluation of current trends in the frequency and morphology of glial tumors is imperative to constitute better diagnostic and treatment protocols. Data pertaining to frequency and spectrum of glial tumors is scarcely available in our population. The aim of this stud...
متن کاملMolecular pathology of oligodendroglial tumors.
The term oligodendroglioma was created by Bailey, Cushing, and Bucy based on the observation that these tumors share morphological similarities with oligodendrocytes (Bailey and Cushing 1926; Bailey and Bucy 1929). However, a convincing link between oligodendrocytes and oligodendrogliomas still needs to be shown. Oligoastrocytomas or mixed gliomas are histologically defined by the presence of o...
متن کاملDetermination of CD117 Expression in Glial Tumors and Its Comparison between High Grade and Low Grade Tumors
Background and Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors. Despite therapeutic advances, the majority of gliomas do not respond to either chemo or radiotherapy. CD117, the gene product of c-kit has been expressed in cells of glial tumors. Because gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that express CD117 respond dramatically to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ide...
