Successes and challenges in modeling heterogeneous BRAFV600E mutated central nervous system neoplasms [PDF]
Central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms are difficult to treat due to their sensitive location. Over the past two decades, the availability of patient tumor materials facilitated large scale genomic and epigenomic profiling studies, which have resulted in

The Continuing Value of Ultrastructural Observation in Central Nervous System Neoplasms in Children [PDF]
Central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms are the second most common childhood malignancy after leukemia and the most common solid organ neoplasm in children. Diagnostic dilemmas with small specimens from CNS neoplasms are often the result of multifactorial

Primary central nervous system neoplasms in African hedgehogs. [PDF]
In this retrospective study, we describe the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical findings in a series of primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms in African hedgehogs ( Atelerix albiventris). Twelve CNS neoplasms were found among 762 African hedgehog submissions (1.6%) to a private diagnostic laboratory in an 18-y period. The median age of

Immunohistochemical Study of Ki-67 Labelling Index in Neoplasms of Central Nervous System [PDF]
Introduction: The central nervous system tumours show a varied histopathological spectrum. The cell proliferation index may provide an objective method for assessing tumour biology. The Ki-67 is considered to be the most reliable proliferative marker
