Molecular imaging of gliomas with PET: opportunities and limitations.
Neuroimaging enables the noninvasive evaluation of glioma and is considered to be one of the key factors for individualized therapy and patient management, since accurate diagnosis and demarcation of viable tumor tissue is required for treatment planning as well as assessment of treatment response. Conventional imaging techniques like MRI and CT reveal morphological information but are of limit...
متن کاملPET Imaging of Gliomas
Noninvasive imaging methods, including positron emission tomography (PET), have become essential for diagnosis and staging of gliomas, and monitoring of treatment response. The utility of these techniques have been found to be highly dependent on tumor grade. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors (Kleihues and Sobin 2000), gliomas are classified into 3 main h...
متن کاملMolecular Neuropathology of Gliomas
Gliomas are the most common primary human brain tumors. They comprise a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant neoplasms that are histologically classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the nervous system. Over the past 20 years the cytogenetic and molecular genetic alterations associated with glioma formation and progression have been intense...
متن کاملMolecular diagnostics of gliomas.
CONTEXT Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors of adults and include a variety of histologic types and morphologies. Histologic evaluation remains the gold standard for glioma diagnosis; however, diagnostic difficulty may arise from tumor heterogeneity, overlapping morphologic features, and tumor sampling. Recently, our knowledge about the genetics of these tumors has expanded, and ne...
متن کاملCorrelation of molecular genetics with molecular and morphological imaging in gliomas with an oligodendroglial component.
PURPOSE Since the recognition that oligodendrogliomas may be chemosensitive, their diagnosis and clinical management has become highly controversial. Histopathology diagnosis remains challenging and new tools such as molecular genetics or molecular imaging require evaluation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In a single-center, population-based prospective study, allelic imbalance in chromosomes 1p36, 19q...
