1p/19q codeletion
Genome-wide readout
Loss of one copy each of chromosome arms 1p and 19q, together with an IDH mutation, defines oligodendroglioma in the WHO 2021 classification. It predicts a slower course and a good response to chemotherapy, and separates oligodendroglioma from astrocytoma.
H3 K27M mutation
H3-3A
H3 K27M is a single change in a histone that defines diffuse midline glioma, including the brain-stem tumour DIPG. In 2025 dordaviprone became the first drug approved for tumours carrying it.
Ingo K. Mellinghoff
Chair, Department of Neurology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center · Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Led INDIGO, the trial that made vorasidenib the first targeted therapy for low-grade IDH-mutant glioma.
Martin J. van den Bent
Professor of Neuro-Oncology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute · Erasmus MC Cancer Institute
Led the EORTC glioma trials that established chemotherapy for anaplastic gliomas and the value of 1p/19q and IDH status.
Michelle Monje
Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University; HHMI Investigator · Stanford Health Care / Stanford Cancer Institute
Founded cancer neuroscience and led the GD2 CAR-T trial that produced the first regressions of diffuse midline glioma.
Mitchel S. Berger
Professor of Neurological Surgery and Director, Brain Tumor Center, UCSF · UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Neurosurgeon who proved that removing more of a glioma extends survival and pioneered awake mapping to do it safely.
Monika E. Hegi
Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Brain Tumor Biology and Genetics, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) · Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) / Ludwig Institute Lausanne
Showed that MGMT promoter methylation predicts benefit from temozolomide, the biomarker every glioblastoma patient is now tested for.
Patrick Y. Wen
Director, Center for Neuro-Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School · Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center
Neuro-oncologist who created the RANO response criteria used in every brain tumour trial and leads glioblastoma drug development.
Timothy F. Cloughesy
Director, UCLA Neuro-Oncology Program · UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Neuro-oncologist whose neoadjuvant PD-1 trial showed immunotherapy before surgery can activate immune responses in glioblastoma.
