What would be the best treatment approach for a tumor that is unmethylated with no mutation in IDH1/2 genes? How would Mayo personalize the treatment for such a tumor?

REPLY

in the biomarker report I was positive for methylation. however it was listed that I was 37% methylated does the percentage have any bearing on prognosis

REPLY

I read somewhere that being positive for egfr is a good prognostic indicator for gbm in the elderly is that correct?

REPLY

I had just asked a question re.: my husband having a possible ependymoma in the ventricle. Thankyou for your answer. Since it has been there 26 years and has only grown a little, why do anything with it especially since he is 68 yrs. old now. He has had a lot of falls over the years from seizures and poor balance. He has aphasia and some confusion and some dementia. He also has hemosiderin in the brain and encephalomacia. He seems a little worse since his brain biopsy in Jan. 2015. Why put him through anything now?

REPLY

thanks, it was great.
