Non-invasive Glioma Characterization Through Molecular Imaging

January 10, 2024 updated by: Macarena De La Fuente, MD, University of Miami

Pilot Study for Non-invasive Glioma Characterization Through Molecular Imaging

MRI-based sequences can provide non-invasive quantification of intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) distribution and tumor cellularity in human gliomas and help guide the development of novel glioma therapies.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study aiming at developing and optimizing MRI-based sequences to provide non-invasive quantification of intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) distribution and tumor cellularity in human gliomas and help guide the development of novel glioma therapies.
