Pilocytic5
Circumscribed astrocytic gliomas include six types: pilocytic astrocytoma, high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, chordoid glioma, and astroblastoma, MN1-altered. (bvsalud.org)
Pilocytic astrocytomas presented primarily with 15-9 (32.2%), 16-9 (25.8%) and 16-11 (6.4%) while pilomyxoid astrocytomas presented with 15-9 (46.6%), 16-9 (6.6%) and 16-11 (6.6%) translocations. (springeropen.com)

In the present study, we aim to determine the prevalence of BRAF V600E mutations in a series of ganglioglioma (GG) and pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) cases. (hindawi.com)
Due to the uniqueness of the clinical material, we focused our attention on rare brain tumor types-ganglioglioma (GG) and pilocytic astrocytoma (PA). (hindawi.com)
Glioblastoma1
The term is largely used in brain tumor imaging follow-up, especially for high-grade gliomas (e.g. glioblastoma ), and is observed after combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy ( Stupp protocol ) in about 30% of patients. (radiopaedia.org)
Ependymoma2
[ 2 ] Prior to 2021, an "anaplastic" tumor was categorized as Grade III regardless of whether the tumor was an anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, or anaplastic ependymoma. (medscape.com)

Astrocytomas can be indolent or aggressive, depending on tumor grade, which drives prognosis and clinical decision making. (medscape.com)
As such, CNS tumor classification heavily relies on accurate grading , which reflects the degree of abnormal behavior displayed by the tumor cells themselves. (medscape.com)
Low grade gliomas are the most common brain tumor in children. (springeropen.com)
The serine/threonine protein kinase BRAF is an important player in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway that transduces mitogenic signals from activated cell-surface growth factor receptors to the cell nucleus and as a result modulates many important cellular processes, such as tumor growth, differentiation, proliferation, and angiogenesis.

This therapy won't remove the tumor, but it can shrink and eliminate cancer cells. (adventhealth.com)
