Next-generation molecular genetics of brain tumours.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systematic use of next-generation sequencing technologies has transformed the field of cancer genomics, leading to the identification of genetic alterations in an unanticipated number of genes and regulatory elements. Here, we review recent advances in brain tumour genomics and highlight how these findings improve classification and diagnosis of brain tumours. RECENT FINDING...
متن کاملRecent Research Progress in Mol- Ecular Classification of Gliomas
Glial tumours, in particular those of astrocytic origin, are the most common primary brain tumours and account for more than 40% of all central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms (1). All neoplasms have an inherent tendency to progress towards a less differentiated, more malignant phenotype: this change reflects the sequential and cumulative acquisition of genetic alterations (2). Their incidence a...

In this paper, we present a fully automated technique two stage technique for segmenting brain tumours from multispectral human brain magnetic resonance images (MRIs). From the training volumes, we model the brain tumour, oedema and the other healthy brain tissues using their combined space characteristics. Our segmentation technique works on a combination of Bayesian classification of the Gabo...
