Prognostic value of subventricular zone involvement in relation to tumor volumes defined by fused MRI and O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET imaging in glioblastoma multiforme

Prognostic value of subventricular zone involvement in relation to tumor volumes defined by fused MRI and O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET imaging in glioblastoma multiforme

Abstract Background Subventricular zone (SVZ) involvement is associated with a dismal prognosis in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Dual-time point (dtp) O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET/CT (PET) may be a time- and cost-effective alternative to dynamic FET PET, but its prognos...
