ABSTRACT
Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The traditional classification of gliomas has been based on histologic features and tumor grade. The advent of sophisticated molecular diagnostic techniques has led to a deeper understanding of genomic drivers implicated in gliomagenesis, some of which have important prognostic implications. These advances have led to an extensive revision of the World Health Organization classification of diffuse gliomas to include molecular markers such as isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation, 1p/19q codeletion, and histone mutations as integral components of brain tumor classification. Here, we report a comprehensive analysis of molecular prognostic factors for patients with gliomas, including those mentioned above, but also extending to others such as telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation, glioma cytosine-phosphate-guanine island methylator phenotype DNA methylation, and epidermal growth factor receptor alterations.
