er, previous studies predominantly used research panels that are not readily available to providers and patients. Accordingly, we explore genomic alterations in molecularly defined oligodendrogliomas using clinically standardized next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels. METHODS: A retrospective single-center study evaluated adults with pathologically confirmed IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendrogliomas diagnosed between 2005 and 2021. Genetic data from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were analyzed with the NGS Solid Tumor Panel at the Johns Hopkins Medical Laboratories, which tests more than 400 cancer-related genes. Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank tests compared progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival by variant status. χ2 tests, t-tests, and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to compare clinical characteristics between genomic variant status in the 10 most frequently altered genes. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-seven patients with molecularly defined o

level of conus, considering both its shape and filum. We evaluated its accuracy in reflecting the neurological status and the need for untethering. METHODS: Patients with radiologic studies available on our institute’s electronic image view system between 1985 and 2019 were reviewed. Our classification categorized patients with CA into 3 groups: the failure of formation (a conus level > L1 or normal level conus with a blunt shape), the failure of regression (a conus level < L3 or normal level conus with a thickened filum or a filar lipoma), and the normal (a normal level conus without specific abnormalities). We analyzed which of the following 3 classifications better reflects the neurological status and the probability of recommending untethering: classifications based on (1) bony defect level, (2) conus level, and (3) pathoembryogenic mechanism. RESULTS: A total of 89 patients were included in this study. The pathoembryogenic classification revealed more significant differences in mo
