TL;DR: De novo methylation of the 5′ CpG island of p16 was found in approximately 20% of different primary neoplasms, but not in normal tissues, potentially representing a common pathway of tumour suppressor gene inactivation in human cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paul Kleihues,David N. Louis,Bernd W. Scheithauer,Lucy B. Rorke,Guido Reifenberger,Peter C. Burger,Webster K. Cavenee +6 more
TL;DR: The new World Health Organization (WHO) classification of nervous system tumors, published in 2000, emerged from a 1999 international consensus conference of neuropathologists, and new entities include chordoid glioma of the third ventricle, cerebellar liponeurocytoma, atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, and perineurioma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The new WHO classification of brain tumours.
TL;DR: The new edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) book on ‘Histological Typing of Tumours of the Central Nervous System’ reflects the progress in brain tumour classification which has been achieved since publication of the first edition in 1979.
