Perspective on the Influence of Biopsy on the Survival of Pediatric Patients with Diffuse Brainstem Gliomas: A Literature Review

Introduction Diffuse brainstem gliomas (DBG) represent the most common subtype of pediatric brainstem tumors, characterized by a systematically grim prognosis with a median survival rate of 10% two years post-diagnosis. Unlike other brain tumors, diffuse brainstem gliomas have traditional...

Description
Summary:Introduction Diffuse brainstem gliomas (DBG) represent the most common subtype of pediatric brainstem tumors, characterized by a systematically grim prognosis with a median survival rate of 10% two years post-diagnosis. Unlike other brain tumors, diffuse brainstem gliomas have traditionally relied on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a sufficient diagnostic tool, rendering surgical biopsies deemed unnecessary.
