    Dual Parallel Sequence Progression as Vascular Pseudo-Reactivities to Tumor Necrosis and to Proliferation of Glioblastoma Cells
    Author(s): Lawrence M AgiusLawrence M Agius

    Directional projections of glioblastoma biology include the constitutive clonality of a lesion that infiltrates in terms of its established potential proliferation involving predominantly poorly differentiated cell populations. In large measure, inclusive parameters correlate with the presence of contrastingly different types of genetic lesion, such as for example, the implication of p53 mutation versus the amplification/over-expression of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in the neoplastic cells. Involvement of vasculature and of intense vascularization of multiple foci of the evolving glioblastoma emphasizes the distinctive link to multiple foci of tumor necrosis. Collaborative features include also an apparent propensity for pseudo-multifocality arising from processes of highly active foci of infiltration within the white matter. Cancer stem cells are believed to be the p.. View More»
