About this trial
The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect specimens from pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma or brainstem glioma, either during therapy or at autopsy, in order to characterize the molecular abnormalities of this tumor.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients of any age with clinical and radiologic diagnosis of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma
Patients with other high-grade gliomas originating in the brainstem
Patients with focal gliomas (WHO grade I/II) of the brainstem
Disqualifiers
Patients with any type of infiltrative low grade (WHO grade I and II) or high grade glioma (WHO grade III and IV) originating outside the brainstem
Patients harboring primary brainstem tumors with other histologic diagnoses (e.g., PNET)
