11 Outcome prediction in patients with glioblastoma by using imaging, clinical, and genomic biomarkers: focus on the nonenhancing component of the tumor. Jain R et al, Radiology Aug;272(2): rcbv of the non enhancing tumor as the top predictor; also important were KPS, age at diagnosis, and NER crossing the midline not CE-MRI Prospective glioma grading using single-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI.

23 Whereas the 78% threshold represents the minimum value at which a survival benefit is seen, RPA selected 95% as the most significant predictor of survival in patients with GBM, emphasizing the added value of a complete resection Neverthless, the usual limitations of a retrospective analysis still apply, particularly with respect to the risk of selection bias.
