Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a tumour biology study whereby tumour and constitutional tissue samples from participating sites in Australia with diffuse pontine glioma (DIPG) and other types of brainstem gliomas will be collected at autopsy, culture the DIPG cells in vivo and perform a screen of 10,000 small molecules that specifically inhibit diffuse pontine glioma propagation and identify these molecules to develop new treatment strategies for Diffuse Pontine Glioma.
