To routinely investigate the incidence of BRAFV600E mutation in the patients affected by Pediatric Low Grade Gliomas](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022063008/5fbc98affe9bcf1df72d3b7c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
1. To routinely investigate the incidence of BRAFV600Emutation in the patients affected by Pediatric Low GradeGliomas (PLGG).
2. To study the response to conventional chemotherapy andradiation in PLGG.
3. To assess the response to BRAF-inhibitor treatment(Vemurafenib) in two cases of mixed glioneural tumors.
4. To correlate genetic data with clinical outcomes using long-term follow-up data.
Objectives:

From May 2015 to March 2017, around 1500 VEMURAFENIB CART for Patient 7 were placed.
The Patient 9 has been related to the resident hospital health after training of medical and pharmacy collectors and sharing procedures.

Pz 7
•No cardiac toxicity
•Very mild skin(on the legs) toxicity, only on the begining of treatment.
Pz 9
•Skin toxicity, probably due to difficulties in managing and preparation of
the treatment
•Both patients are stable after a median follow-up time of 24 months
Cart preparation of Vemurafenib instead of pill allows pharmacological
principle to be better assimilated by pediatric patients, avoiding nausea,
vomiting, and growing the beneficial effect.
