Molecular and Genetic Changes in Gliomas
1Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı, Ankara, Türkiye
Molecular and genetic research in Neuro-oncology has provided new perspectives on the oncogenesis and progression of central
nervous system tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification for central nervous system tumors was changed in
2016 to develop an integrated, multi-layer diagnostic model and to integrate molecular markers into the classical histopathological
features. These molecular markers have helped classify glioma cases and determine the response to the treatment as well as paving
the way for individual treatments. Having parallel, fast, and reliable tests with multiple indicator focuses available at an acceptable
cost is desirable. In this paper, the correlation of molecular genetic markers with gliomas and new approaches to this field is
discussed with a recent literature review.
