Abstract |
A potential effective therapy for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma ( DIPG) is far to be developed. There are no "shortcuts" to reach this goal. Only a rigid, scientific, and ethically correct approach can help develop effective therapeutic approaches for such a devastating brain tumor. There are no alternative ways. The children affected by DIPG deserve to become the focus of serious collaborative researches. For these children, there are many "lacks" which should be promptly corrected such as the lack of knowledge, the lack of basic and clinical scientists' passion to the problem of finding "the solution" for DIPG, the lack of rigid methods to run research in this frustrating field, the lack of research proposals, and the lack of serious, despite not magic, protocols to offer them.
