Family and Physician Perspectives: Unassailable, a p53 and PIK3CA Mutant Glioblastoma in a Child

High-grade gliomas in children continue to have a dismal prognosis. This case is of a child with a diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma H3 and IDH-wildtype, treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and a targeted agent without success. Physician and family perspectives are also presented. Options for treatment and research participation are limited, but there is a strong desire from patients and families to access new treatment modalities and take part in clinical trials. Treating teams and families remain hopeful that in the future, tumours like the one described in this report will be treated with much greater success.

Abstract

High-grade gliomas in children continue to have a dismal prognosis. This case is of a child with a diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma H3 and IDH-wildtype, treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and a targeted agent without success. Physician and family perspectives are also presented. Options for treatment and research participation are limited, but there is a strong desire from patients and families to access new treatment modalities and take part in clinical trials. Treating teams and families remain hopeful that in the future, tumours like the one described in this report will be treated with much greater success.
