More new step for accurate diagnosis of cancer. Researchers in France and the UK have identified a link
between specific chromosomal abnormalities and increased risk of death in
children suffering from a fatal variant of brain cancer. The results could help
develop a diagnostic test that identifies patients at increased risk for
ependymoma, an intracranial gloomy which constitutes 10% of the central nervous
system tumors in children. The findings, published in Clinical Cancer Research,
could help to develop a diagnostic test that would identify younger patients
with an increased risk of ependymoma and that may require more intensive
treatment to survive the disease.
