Overview

NCI Definition: A malignant neoplasm that arises from the brain. Representative examples include anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma, and lymphoma. [1]

Malignant primary brain neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NRAS, MTOR, FBXW7, and CDKN2A [2].

TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 Exon 7 Mutation, and NRAS Mutation are the most common alterations in malignant primary brain neoplasm [2].
