The molecular classification of astrocytic tumors
Aim This study will explore the genetic and epigenetic alterations in astrocytomas, and identify the critical molecular signatures and signaling pathways for prognosis assessment by multiplatform comprehensive analysis. Method We performed integration analyses of incorporating DNA methylation, mRNA expression, microRNA expression, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression in 33 astrocytic t...
متن کاملClassification and grading of low-grade astrocytic tumors in children.
This article reviews current perspectives in the classification and grading of astrocytomas in children and calls attention to several histologically distinct groups of low-grade tumors that characteristically arise during childhood. Recognition of these tumors and the range of histological features that they may exhibit is essential for making rational assessments regarding their expected beha...
متن کاملClassification of Primary Brain Tumors: Molecular Aspects
The guiding principle of this chapter is the importance of combining traditional morphological data with the recently acquired knowledge on the genetic and epigenetic signalling pathways which drive the evolution of CNS tumors. The official World Health Organization terminology (WHO, 2007) will be used since it is the source of information for neurooncology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, etc. I...
متن کاملFavored gyral sites of supratentorial astrocytic tumors
It is well known that the predilective sites of extrinsic tumors (meningiomas, chordomas, etc) are at the skull base and along the calvarium. Although intrinsic tumors or glial tumors have also been seen to have anatomic and functional predilective sites within the central nervous system, these have not been well documented. We conducted this study to investigate if supratentorial astrocytic tu...
متن کاملAn Immunohistochemical Study of Cyclin D1 Expression in Astrocytic Tumors and its Correlation with Tumor Grade
Background & Objective: Glioblastoma-multiforme is the high grade form of astrocytic tumors with a short survival time, which are the most common type of brain tumors. Therefore, finding new therapeutic options is essential. Cyclin D1 is expressed in some human malignancies and can be a potential target for therapeutic intervention. The aim of the present study was to determine...
