CLINICAL INSIGHTS GAINED BY REFINING THE 2016 WHO CLASSIFICATION OF DIFFUSE GLIOMAS WITH: EGFR AMPLIFICATION, TERT MUTATIONS, PTEN DELETION AND MGMT METHYLATION

Clinical insights gained by refining the 2016 WHO classification of diffuse gliomas with: EGFR amplification, TERT mutations, PTEN deletion and MGMT methylation

Abstract Background Significant advances in the molecular profiling of gliomas, led the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification to include, for the first-time, molecular biomarkers in glioma diagnosis: IDH mutations and 1p/19q codeletion.Here, we evaluated the effect of this new classification in the stratification of gliomas previously
