Magnetic resonance assessment of glioblastoma

Abstract:

The most common malignant primary brain tumor is the glioblastoma; its incidence is increasing in older adults faster than any other population segment. Magnetic resonance imaging has become an essential tool for the acquisition of real-time brain images and therefore, for the assessment of the staging of brain tumors. Noninvasive evaluation based on magnetic resonance imaging of tumor malignancy and molecular status offers the opportunity to pbkp_redict prognosis and furthermore it allows us to select patients who may be candidates for targeted individualized therapies, which provides more sensitive tools for cancer follow-up.
