Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: Poised for progress [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2012
Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are amongst the most challenging tumors to treat. Surgery is not an option, the effects of radiation therapy are temporary, and no chemotherapeutic agent has demonstrated significant efficacy.

Current immunotherapeutic approaches to diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive brain tumour that occurs in the pons of the brainstem and accounts for over 80% of all brainstem gliomas.

Addressing barriers in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: the transformative role of lipid nanoparticulate drug delivery [PDF]

open access: yesADMET and DMPK
Background and purpose: The brainstem tumour known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), also known as pontine glioma, infiltrative brainstem glioma is uncommon and virtually always affects children.

The role of brainstem biopsy and targeted therapies in pediatric diffuse midline glioma/diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology
Pediatric diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), are aggressive brainstem tumors with a dire prognosis, traditionally diagnosed based on MRI characteristics.

Case Report: Low-grade glioma with NF1 loss of function mimicking diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery
Intrinsic, expansile pontine tumors typically occur in the pediatric population. These tumors characteristically present as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), which is now considered as diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-mutated of the pons.

Can Focused Ultrasound Overcome the Failure of Chemotherapy in Treating Pediatric Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Due to a Blood–Brain Barrier Obstacle? [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
Background: The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in regulating homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS), and it is an obstacle for molecules with a molecular weight higher than 500 Da seeking to reach it, making many drugs ...

PI3K/mTOR is a therapeutically targetable genetic dependency in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), including tumors diagnosed in the brainstem (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma; DIPG), are uniformly fatal brain tumors that lack effective treatment.

Bridging the age gap: a review of molecularly informed treatments for glioma in adolescents and young adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
Gliomas are the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors and a major cause of cancer-related mortality in children (age <15 years), adolescents and young adults (AYA, ages 15–39 years), and adults (age >39 years). Molecular pathology
