Predicting survival in glioblastoma with multimodal neuroimaging and machine learning

ConclusionWe demonstrate that machine learning can accurately classify survival in GBM patients based on multimodal neuroimaging before any surgical or medical intervention. These results were achieved without information regarding presentation symptoms, treatments, postsurgical outcomes, or tumor genomic information. Our results suggest GBMs have a global effect on the brain ’s structural and functional organization, which is predictive of survival.
