Full description

This is a retrospective observation that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of 145 patients with glioma treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

We will review 11C-Methionine PET data acquired within 30 days prior to surgery and analyze its principal imaging characteristics with respect to IDH1 mutation status, MGMT promoter methylation and 1p/19q co-deletion. These markers will be studied on tumor tissue obtained at surgery, used for diagnostic purposes and stored in paraffin.

Enrollment: 145 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Diagnosis of glioma
• 11C-Methionine within 30 days before surgery

Exclusion criteria

• Absence of tumor specimen
• No clinical data
• 11C-Methionine can not be evaluated
