A member asked:
Are there any documented cases of any children in the world that have actually survived dipg (5+ years) or been cured? or is there no such thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I know of none: However, since this is a tumor of small cells that affects children, and many have a signature genetic mutation that's recently been discovered, there is the possibility of a breakthrough. I think the chance is small, but worth considering.
