The involvement of brain regions associated with lower KPS and shorter survival time predicts a poor prognosis in glioma
ConclusionThis study identified the specific regions that were significantly associated with OS or KPS in glioma. The results may help neurosurgeons evaluate patient survival before surgery and understand the pathogenic mechanisms of glioma in depth. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Multiparametric MRI and T2/FLAIR mismatch complements the World Health Organization 2021 classification for the diagnosis of IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-co-deleted/ATRX-mutant astrocytoma
To investigate whether T2-weighted imaging –fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2/FLAIR) mismatch, T2* dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) correlated with the histological diagnosis and grading of IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase)-mutant, 1p/19q non-co-deleted/ATRX (alpha-thalassemia me ntal retardation X-linked)-mutant astrocytoma.

Prognostic Value of Immunohistochemical Expression of MTAP and AKIP1 in IDH1 Mutant Astrocytoma
CONCLUSION: Irrespective to grade and IDH status, the loss of MTAP immunoreactivity and high AKIP1 expression are predictive factors in astrocytoma, and they may be used as a biomarker for guiding astrocytoma management and prognosis surveillance.PMID:38019246 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2023.24.11.3875 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)
