1p/19q codeletion and IDH1/2 mutation identified a subtype of anaplastic oligoastrocytomas with prognosis as favorable as anaplastic oligodendrogliomas

Abstract

AOA is a heterogeneous group and can be divided into 2 subgroups with significantly different prognoses according to the status of 1p/19q and IDH1/2. This will be helpful in estimating patients' prognosis and guiding reasonable therapy for patients with anaplastic gliomas.
