Conveniently organized contents include: Cellular Classification * Stage Information * Treatment Option Overview * Untreated Childhood Brain Stem Glioma Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas * Treatment options under clinical evaluation * Focal or Low-grade Brain Stem Gliomas * Neurofibromatosis * Current Clinical Trials * Recurrent Childhood Brain Stem Glioma Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas * Focal or low-grade brain stem gliomas * Treatment Options Under Clinical Evaluation * Current Clinical Trials * Glossary * Late effects of treatment for childhood cancer * Pediatric supportive care. Brain stem gliomas are classified according to their location, radiographic appearance, and histology (when obtained). Brain stem gliomas may occur in the pons, midbrain, tectum, dorsum of the medulla at the cervicomedullary junction, or in multiple regions of the brain stem. The tumor may contiguously involve the cerebellar peduncles, cerebellum, the cervical spinal cord, and/or thalamus. The majority of childhood brain stem gliomas are diffuse, fibrillary astrocytomas that involve the pons (diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas [DIPG]), often with contiguous involvement of other brain stem sites.[1,2] The prognosis is extremely poor for these tumors. The biology of diffuse pontine glioma is limited by the lack of pathological tissue available for study, but this is slowly being remedied by occasional upfront biopsies or analysis of immediate postmortem autopsy specimens.
