**Definition:** Terminology to support the efforts of the International Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)/Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) Registry. The International DIPG/DMG Registry is a collaborative effort to centralize and standardize the collection of clinical data and tumor samples from DIPG and DMG patients. The primary goals are to better understand the biology of DIPG and DMG, develop more effective therapies, and develop new approaches to diagnosis, response assessment and multidisciplinary treatment and follow up to improve patient outcomes. The long-term goal of the registry is to establish and maintain a highly collaborative, international, hypothesis-driven research infrastructure that can support a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary and translational projects related to DIPG and DMG.
