Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pretreatment apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis-specifically the lower Gaussian peak mean (ADC-L)-is a predictive biomarker of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in recurrent IDH-wildtype glioblastoma receiving anti-VEGF treatment including bevacizumab. IDH-mutant gliomas differ biologically from glioblastoma, as they exhibit lower tumor cellularity, longer...
