Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Extent of Resection in the Long-Term Outcome of Low-Grade Hemispheric Gliomas
Justin S. Smith,Edward F. Chang,Kathleen R. Lamborn,Susan M. Chang,Michael D. Prados,Soonmee Cha,Tarik Tihan,Scott R. VandenBerg,Michael W. McDermott,Mitchel S. Berger +9 more
TL;DR: Improved outcome among adult patients with hemispheric LGG is predicted by greater EOR, and progression-free survival was predicted by log preoperative tumor volume and postoperative volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational Analysis Reveals the Origin and Therapy-Driven Evolution of Recurrent Glioma
Brett E. Johnson,Tali Mazor,Chibo Hong,Michael R. Barnes,Koki Aihara,Cory Y. McLean,Shaun D. Fouse,Shogo Yamamoto,Hiroki R. Ueda,Kenji Tatsuno,Saurabh Asthana,Llewellyn E. Jalbert,Sarah J. Nelson,Andrew W. Bollen,W. Clay Gustafson,Elise Charron,William A. Weiss,Ivan Smirnov,Jun S. Song,Adam B. Olshen,Soonmee Cha,Yongjun Zhao,Richard A. Moore,Andrew J. Mungall,Steven J.M. Jones,Martin Hirst,Marco A. Marra,Nobuhito Saito,Hiroyuki Aburatani,Akitake Mukasa,Mitchel S. Berger,Susan M. Chang,Barry S. Taylor,Joseph F. Costello +33 more
TL;DR: Exome sequencing of exomes of 23 initial low-grade gliomas and recurrent tumors resected from the same patients suggests that recurrent tumors are often seeded by cells derived from the initial tumor at a very early stage of their evolution.
Journal Article
Glioma grading: sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of perfusion MR imaging and proton MR spectroscopic imaging compared with conventional MR imaging
Meng Law,Stanley Yang,Hao Wang,James S. Babb,James S. Babb,Glyn Johnson,Soonmee Cha,Edmond A. Knopp,David Zagzag +8 more
TL;DR: The rCBV measurements had the most superior diagnostic performance (either with or without metabolite ratios) in predicting glioma grade and can be used in a clinical setting to evaluate tumors preoperatively for histologic grade and provide a means for guiding treatment and predicting postoperative patient outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glial neoplasms: dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted MR imaging.
Edmond A. Knopp,Soonmee Cha,Glyn Johnson,Avi Mazumdar,John G. Golfinos,David Zagzag,Douglas C. Miller,Patrick J. Kelly,Irvin I. Kricheff +8 more
TL;DR: Echo-planar perfusion imaging is useful in the preoperative assessment of tumor grade and in providing diagnostic information not available with conventional MR imaging.
Journal Article
Update on Brain Tumor Imaging: From Anatomy to Physiology
TL;DR: The role of neuroimaging in patients with brain tumors is no longer simply to evaluate structural abnormality and identify tumor-related complications, but one that incorporates functional, hemodynamic, metabolic, cellular, and cytoarchitectural considerations.
