Global molecular alterations involving recurrence or progression of pediatric brain tumors
Background: We aimed to identify molecular changes in recurrent or progressive pediatric brain tumors, as compared to the corresponding initial tumors from the same patients, using genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data from a unique and large cohort of 55 patients and 63 recurrent or progressi...
