Neuropathology Nuggets! How can molecular pathology help me with my diagnostic work?
Welcome to another case in the 'Neuropathology Nuggets' series!
In this video, I will take a look at a case of a low grade glioma and help you to answer the following points:
- What are some of the features of a low grade glioma on an intraoperative smear?
- What are some of the histological features to look out for to support the diagnosis of a low grade glioma?
- How can immunohistochemistry help me to decide on my tumour type - astrocytoma vs oligodendroglioma?
- What is methylation profiling and how can it help in this case?
I hope you enjoy the case! If you want to read more about methylation profiling, please take a look at the paper (Capper et al (2018) Nature) which has been uploaded to the portal as a resource.
