Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

Correction to: Results of nimotuzumab and vinorelbine, radiation and re-irradiation for diffuse pontine glioma in childhood

The therapeutic experience reported in the paper was conceived after the use of nimotuzumab and radiotherapy (BSCPED-05 international multicentric trial, EUDRACT 2005-003100-11) in 2009 when we decided to explore the activity of the same combination plus vinorelbine (see the paper for the rationale).

Clinical, radiologic, pathologic, and molecular characteristics of long-term survivors of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG): a collaborative report from the International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG registries

Purpose Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a brainstem malignancy with a median survival of < 1 year. The International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries collaborated to compare clinical, radiologic, and histomolecular characteristics between short-term survivors (STSs) and long-term survivors (LTSs). Materials and Methods Data abstracted from registry databases included patients from North America, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Croatia.
