Al's Comment:

I doubt that three cases in a 13 year period represent a major risk but glad that they are investigating.  They confuse terminology and statistics.  A DIPG is one form of diffuse midline glioma that occurs in the pons, and there are only about 300 per year in the USA with an average survival of under a year and only 2% survive five years.
