MRI grading versus histology: predicting survival of World Health Organization grade II-IV astrocytomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Histologic grading of intracranial astrocytomas is affected by sampling error and substantial inter- and intraobserver variability. We proposed that incorporating MR imaging into grading will predict patient survival more accurately than histopathology alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with a new diagnosis of World Health Organization grades II-IV astrocytoma or mix...
متن کاملWorld Health Organization grade II–III astrocytomas consist of genetically distinct tumor lineages
Recent investigations revealed genetic analysis provides important information in management of gliomas, and we previously reported grade II-III gliomas could be classified into clinically relevant subgroups based on the DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs). To develop more precise genetic subgrouping, we investigated the correlation between CNAs and mutational status of the gene encoding isocitr...
متن کاملChordoid Meningioma: Differentiating a Rare World Health Organization Grade II Tumor from Other Meningioma Histologic Subtypes Using MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Meningiomas are very commonly diagnosed intracranial primary neoplasms, of which the chordoid subtype is seldom encountered. Our aim was to retrospectively review preoperative MR imaging of intracranial chordoid meningiomas, a rare WHO grade II variant, in an effort to determine if there exist distinguishing MR imaging characteristics that can aid in differentiating this ...
متن کاملOutcome and survival following primary and repeat surgery for World Health Organization Grade III meningiomas.
OBJECT Despite an increased understanding of the biology of malignant meningioma tumor progression, there is a paucity of published clinical data on factors affecting outcomes following treatment for these lesions. The authors present the largest case series to date dealing with these tumors, providing analysis of 63 patients. METHODS The authors identified all patients undergoing resection o...
متن کاملManagement and treatment recommendations for World Health Organization Grade III and IV gliomas
The treatment recommendations provided in this manuscript are intended to serve as a knowledge base for clinicians and health personals involved in treating patients with high-grade malignant glioma. In newly diagnosed patients, complete resection or biopsy is required for histological characterization of the tumor, which in turn is essential to decide the treatment strategy. In patients with g...
