Upregulating mutations in the TERT promoter commonly occur in adult malignant gliomas and are strongly associated with total 1p19q loss

TL;DR: The data indicate that mutation of the TERT promoter is one of the major mechanisms of telomerase activation in gliomas, and suggests that they play distinct roles in the pathogenesis of oligodendroglial and astrocytic tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

STAT6 immunohistochemistry is helpful in the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumors.

TL;DR: Nuclear STAT6 immunoreactivity is a highly sensitive and specific marker of SFTs and can be helpful when diagnosis is inconclusive by conventional methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Revisiting TP53 Mutations and Immunohistochemistry--A Comparative Study in 157 Diffuse Gliomas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-evaluate the efficacy of p53 immunohistochemistry to predict the mutational status of TP53 and propose a moderately sensitive and highly specific marker to predict TP53 mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

IDH1/2 mutation is a prognostic marker for survival and predicts response to chemotherapy for grade II gliomas concomitantly treated with radiation therapy

TL;DR: Among the patients with IDH1/2 mutations, those who were initially treated with chemoradiotherapy including nimustine hydrochloride (ACNU), had significantly longer PFS than those treated with radiotherapy alone, whereas no significant difference in PFS was observed between the cheMoradiotherapy and radiotherapy groups in the patients without IDH2 mutations.
