Astrocytoma
New astrocytoma study results from M. Haris et al described
January 27th, 2009
In this recent study, researchers in Lucknow, India conducted a study "To look for the impact of leak correction on correlation of perfusion indices with microvessel density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in astrocytomas. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 64 patients with varying grades of astrocytoma." "Perfusion indices (ie, relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) with and without leak correction, relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), permeability (k(trans)), and leakage (v(e)) were quantified. MVD and VEGF-expressing cells were quantified from the excised tumor tissues and were correlated with perfusion metrics....
