Spatial and Volumetric Characteristics of Glioblastoma: Associations With Clinical Presentation and Survival.
MRI patterns of glioblastoma size and location correlate with how patients present and survive, supporting imaging as a quantifiable prognostic tool.
This retrospective study at Penn Medicine correlates spatial and volumetric MRI features of glioblastoma with clinical presentation and survival, with contributions from Davatzikos's established brain imaging group. While not directly in the primary hematology/oncology watchlist areas, it demonstrates near-term applicability of imaging biomarkers in a high-mortality CNS cancer.
