A combination of TERT promoter mutation and MGMT methylation status predicts clinically relevant subgroups of newly diagnosed glioblastomas

TL;DR: The findings suggest that a combination of IDH, TERT, and MGMT refines the classification of grade II-IV diffuse gliomas, and patients with TERT mutant-MGMT unmethylated GBM have the poorest prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced tumor growth elicited by L-type amino acid transporter 1 in human malignant glioma cells.

TL;DR: LAT1, the major transporter of system L, is frequently expressed at higher levels in high-gradegliomas than in low-grade gliomas and brain tissues, and it may play an important role in enhancing the rates of tumor cell proliferation and growth in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significance of molecular classification of ependymomas: C11orf95-RELA fusion-negative supratentorial ependymomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors

Kohei Fukuoka, +73 more
TL;DR: RelA fusion-negative ST-EPN appear to be a heterogeneous group of tumors that do not fall into any of the existing molecular subgroups and are unlikely to form a single category.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrent neomorphic mutations of MTOR in central nervous system and testicular germ cell tumors may be targeted for therapy.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the dominant genetic drivers of GCTs regardless of the site of origin are activation of the MAPK and/or PI3K pathways by somatic point mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Significance of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase Protein Expression in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma Treated with Temozolomide

TL;DR: The standard 5-day TMZ regimen resulted in moderate antitumor activity with an acceptable safety profile in patients with nitrosourea-pretreated recurrent GBM, and protein expression of MGMT is an important prognostic factor for patients treated with TMZ even after recurrence.
