What Is DIPG?
DIPG is an aggressive form of brain cancer that affects children between the ages of 4 and 11. It occurs when tumors develop in the pons region of the brainstem, which controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, swallowing, eye movement, hearing, speech production and facial expressions.
Unfortunately there are no known causes or cures for DIPG at present time; however researchers have been working hard on finding new treatments options through clinical trials which have shown promising results so far!
