Molecular imaging of 1p/19q deletion in oligodendroglial tumours with<sup>11</sup>C-methionine positron emission tomography
4 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Chromosome 1p/19q deletion is an established prognostic and predictive marker in the WHO grade III oligodendroglial tumours (OT). To estimate the genetic status preoperatively, the authors investigated the correlation between the uptake of (11)C-methionine in positron emission tomography (PET) and the 1p/19q status in grades II and III OT. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 144 patients with gliomas...
