Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas-current management and new biologic insights. Is there a glimmer of hope?

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...
