The majority of childhood brain stem tumours are diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG). These are high-grade tumours that develop in the pons – a part of the brain stem deep within the brain. These tumours often involve surrounding tissue. Because of this and their location, DIPGs may be biopsied, but cannot be removed and are difficult to treat.
