This invitation-only conference brought together physicians that care for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas to talk about several key current issues facing DIPG research. Some of the presentation titles include:
- A Death Sentence Without Tissue Diagnosis
- Translating Genomics Into Novel Therapeutic Strategies in Pediatric DIPG
- Using A Genetically Engineered Mouse Model of Brainstem Glioma as a Preclinical Tool
- Development of an International DIPG Registry
- Personalized Medicine in Translation: From the Tissue to Treatment in a Single trial
- Rapid Preclinical Development of Targeted Therapy Combinations for DIPG
Hopefully a Consensus Statement or White Paper will be issued as was done with the Toronto DIPG Think Tank.
