Ganglioglioma

Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma and astrocytoma: A narrative review of the literature. (PubMed, Childs Nerv Syst)
A fatal outcome and multifocal lesions were significantly associated with tumor recurrence or dissemination (p < 0.05). DIA/DIG has a generally promising prognosis, high ki-67, and multifocal localization of the tumors, which may be factors related to a more aggressive course.

A case of neurofibromatosis type 1 with neurofibromatosis type 1-related and neurofibromatosis type 1-unrelated tumors: a case report. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
Though rare, multiple neurofibromatosis type 1-unrelated tumors can develop in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients, which demands attention and interdisciplinary management. All related genes should be screened for potential pathogenic variants.

An Emerging Pediatric CNS Tumor: Imaging Evaluation of H3K27M and BRAF V600E Comutated Midline Tumors. (PubMed, AJNR Am J Neuroradiol)
DMGs harboring both H3K27M and BRAFV600E mutations may represent a distinct subtype, with radiologic, histopathologic, and molecular features that appear different from those of non-MAPK-altered H3K27M DMGs.

Intracranial low-grade tumors with ALK rearrangement: diverse tumor types with shared molecular alterations. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
In summary, ALK fusions may be shared features of a group of low-grade intracranial tumors including IMT, tanycytic ST-EPN, GG, and ALK-rearranged low-grade myxoid mesenchyma neoplasm. Future studies using larger cohorts are warranted to further characterize their clinical and pathological features.

Multi-pronged analysis of pediatric low-grade glioma and ganglioglioma reveals a unique tumor microenvironment associated with BRAF alterations. (PubMed, Brain Pathol)
A multi-pronged analysis demonstrated the complexity of the PA and GG TME and differences between genetic drivers that may influence their response to immunotherapy. Further investigation of immune cell infiltration and tumor-immune interactions is warranted.

VOPP1::EGFR fusion is associated with NFκB pathway activation in a glioneural tumor with histological features of ganglioglioma. (PubMed, Acta Neuropathol Commun)
Furthermore, we provide histological and epigenetic findings and clinical outcome. The case expands the known molecular spectrum of oncogenic drivers in glioneuronal tumors and provides a link to potentially prognostic and therapeutically relevant alterations.

Unraveling BRAF alterations: molecular insights to circumvent therapeutic resistance across cancer types. (PubMed, Cancer Drug Resist)
Comprehensive genomic profiling is critical for optimizing targeted therapy and overcoming drug resistance in BRAF-mutated cancers. The identification of co-occurring alterations provides opportunities for rational combination therapies, emphasizing the importance of detailed mutation profiling in developing effective treatment strategies across diverse cancer types.
