Multifaceted end points in brain tumor clinical trials: cognitive deterioration precedes MRI progression.

abstract：:Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common pediatric brain cancer. Several important developmental pathways have been implicated in MB formation, but fewer therapeutic targets have been identified. To locate frequently overexpressed genes, we performed a comprehensive gene expression survey of MB. Our comparison of 20 pr...
