Mashup Score: 0Challenges of imaging interpretation to predict oligodendroglioma grade: a report from the Neuro-Oncology Branch | CNS Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Background: To illustrate challenges of imaging interpretation in patients with oligodendroglioma seen at a referral center and evaluate interrater reliability. Methods: Two neuro-oncologists reviewed diagnostic preradiation MRIs of oligodendroglioma patients; interrater reliability was calculated with the kappa coefficient (k). A neuroradiologist measured presurgical apparent diffusion…

Mashup Score: 2Comparing different methods of determining whether gliomas are missing arms 1p and 19q of the chromosomes - 2 year(s) ago
Over the last year, Cochrane Neuro-Oncology have been publishing a series of new systematic reviews on priority topics for the brain tumour community. These were selected from the most important unanswered questions identified by patients, the public and practitioners. In this podcast, Kathreena Kurian from the University of Bristol in the UK tells us about one of the reviews, which was published…

Mashup Score: 0
Collapse all Expand all Background Complete deletion of both the short arm of chromosome 1 (1p) and the long arm of chromosome 19 (19q), known as 1p/19q codeletion, is a mutation that can occur in gliomas. It occurs in a type of glioma known as oligodendroglioma and its higher grade counterpart known as anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Detection of 1p/19q codeletion in gliomas is…

Mashup Score: 8A single institution retrospective analysis on survival based on treatment paradigms for patients with anaplastic oligodendroglioma - 3 year(s) ago
Introduction Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are high-grade gliomas defined molecularly by 1p19q co-deletion. There is no curative therapy, and standard of care includes surgical resection followed by radiation and chemotherapy. However, the benefit of up-front radiation with chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone has not been demonstrated in a randomized control trial. Given the potential…
