Brain tumor secrets: how kids and young adults differ
NCT ID NCT04916015
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at brain tumors (gliomas) in 128 patients under 25 treated at one French hospital. Researchers compared the genetic and imaging features of tumors in children (0-14 years) versus adolescents and young adults (15-25 years). The goal was to see if these groups have different tumor types, which could guide future diagnosis and treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help doctors better understand how brain tumors differ between children and young adults, leading to more tailored treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study from a single hospital, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female patient * Patient treated in the Amiens University Hospital * Patient treated for a glial or glioneuronal brain tumor according to the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System ("diffuse oligodendroglia or astrocytoma tumour," "another astrocytic tumor," "another glioma" or a "mixed neuronal or glioneuronal tumour"). * Diagnosis histologically confirmed or formally established by radiologist. * Diagnosis established between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2020. * No patient opposition (from adult patient, or from the holder of parental authority of the minor patient). Exclusion Criteria: * Uncertain diagnosis * Patient opposition (from adult patient, or from the holder of parental authority of the minor patient).
