Abstract

Oligodendrogliomas are rare primary brain tumors. They comprise approximately 5 to 33% of all glial tumors but differ from astrocytomas by being associated with a more favorable prognosis, making their correct identification important. Allelic loss of chromosome arms 1p and 19q is found in a substantial subpopulation of tumors with an oligodendroglioma phenotype. Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas with allelic loss of 1p have been associated with chemosensitivity and a longer patient survival period. Oligodendroglial neoplasms were studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens; reference and target probe sets were used to map the telomeric regions of 1p and 19q. The results were correlated with the clinical characteristics of patients treated at our institution between 1993 and 2003. Data obtained in 96 patients were analyzed. This included 63 patients (65.6%) with World Health Organization (WHO) Grade II oligodendroglioma, 22 (23%) with Grade III oligodendroglioma, and 11 (11.4%) with mixed oligoastrocytoma. Analysis of 1p in patients with pure oligodendroglioma revealed a loss of 1p in 42 patients (49.4%). In 46 of these patients 19q was lost and in 70 (82.3%) there was conc...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
