During this thesis project we uncovered a new and reciprocal link between genetic progression of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and activation of coagulation system effectors, notably the tissue factor (TF) pathway. GBM is a highly aggressive (grade IV) astrocytic primary brain tumor affecting both adults and children. Florid angiogenesis, intravascular and systemic thrombosis, pseudopalisading necrosis surrounding occluded vessels and cellular invasion are cellular hallmarks of this disease, in which epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its mutant (EGFRvIII) play a prominent oncogenic role. We have observed a close parallel between the expression levels of EGFR (Classical subtype of GBM) and TF, the procoagulant receptor for clotting...
