Study Identifies Key Predictors of Survival in Grade 4 IDH-Mutant Astrocytoma

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have identified two factors independently associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with grade 4 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytoma: cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) deletion and midline tumour involvement. The findings, published in Neurology,…
