BCOR expression in paediatric pineoblastoma
Folia Neuropathol. 2023;61(2):121-128. doi: 10.5114/fn.2023.129377.ABSTRACTBCOR is expressed in a new brain tumour entity, i.e. 'CNS tumour with BCOR internal tandem duplication' (HGNET BCOR) but not in several other high grade paediatric brain tumours investigated. Immunohistochemical detection of BCOR expression may therefore serve as a potential diagnostic marker. Nevertheless, in rare paediatric glioma cases recurrent EP300-BCOR fusions were detected, which resulted in strong BCOR immunopositivity. We have therefore examined other, not analysed so far, types of central nervous system (CNS) tumours, pineoblastoma and ge...

Benign and Malignant Tumors of the Pineal Region
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1405:153-173. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-23705-8_6.ABSTRACTPineal region tumors fall into five broad categories: benign pineal region tumors, glial tumors, papillary tumors, pineal parenchymal tumors, and germ cell tumors. Genetic and transcriptional studies have identified key chromosomal alterations in germinomas (RUNDC3A, ASAH1, LPL) and in pineocytomas/pineoblastomas (DROSHA/DICER1, RB1). Pineal region tumors generally present with symptoms of hydrocephalus including nausea, vomiting, papilledema, and the classical Parinaud's triad of upgaze paralysis, convergence-retraction nystagmus, and light-near...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 3374: Post-Surgical Prognosis of Patients with Pineoblastoma: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Analysis with Trends over Time
This study demonstrates that EOR less-than-gross total resection, metastatic presentation, adjuvant chemotherapy without radiation, and tumor presentation in children less than three years old are associated with poorer prognosis. Since 2012, the 5-year actuarial OS has improved from 32.8% to 56.1%, which remained significant even after accounting for EOR, age, and adjuvant therapy. Pineoblastoma remains a severe rare disease, but survival outcomes are improving. (Source: Cancers)
