Toward a multimodality cure for DIPG: investigation of intratumoral drug ...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a currently incurable childhood brain tumor that, despite many past clinical trials, has never been shown to respond to systemic chemotherapy. Radiation therapy (RT) is effective in extending life but is not curative; median overall survival is 11 months and long-term survival is extremely rare.1 ...

TARGETING NEURONAL ACTIVITY-REGULATED DIPG INFILTRATION (2017)

DIPG is characteristically infiltrative (i.e. diffuse and intrinsic), and this infiltrative/invasive behavior is destructive both in the brainstem and in other areas of the central nervous system to which DIPG spreads during the course of the disease. In work previously funded by the Cure Starts Now and the ...

Targeting DIPG through pharmacological activation of mitochondrial biogenesis: as in ...

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are infiltrative, highly aggressive pediatric brainstem tumors with limited therapeutic options. Despite international efforts to improve outcome, DIPG show poor response to conventional radiation and chemotherapeutic strategies. Only within the last decade have studies really begun to decipher the molecular mechanisms behind DIPG tumorigenesis, with ...

Targeting EZH2 as a theraputic strategy in DIPG

Malignant brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in children (1), and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is one of the most devastating, with a median survival of <1 year following treatment with radiation therapy (2). Despite more than 250 clinical trials over the past 30 years (3), not a single chemotherapeutic agent ...

Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of radio resistance at diagnosis and ...

Backgound. Radiotherapy is still the mainstay of the treatment for DIPG. If the majority of children experience an improvement of their neurological condition following irradiation, this effect is not observed in all patients and is universally only transient. Determinants of the response to radiotherapy have yet to be defined. We ...
