Our work suggests that targeting a specific stem cell phenotype, for example with immunotherapies, could be beneficial in patients with oligodendroglioma.» (sciencedaily.com)
As result of these findings, scientists suspect that oligodendroglioma patients with PIK3CA mutations could potentially benefit from these experimental therapies and may be included in these clinical trials. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
The tumors studied fell into the broad category of high - grade gliomas: diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, which strikes school - aged children; pediatric cortical glioblastoma, which affects primarily teens and young adults; anaplastic oligodendroglioma, which affects young adults; and glioblastoma multiforme, which affects older adults.
