Predicting the infiltration of Glioblastoma (GBM) from medical MRI scans is crucial for understanding tumor growth dynamics and designing personalized radiotherapy treatment plans.Mathematical models of GBM growth can complement the data in…
Glioblastoma exhibits diverse, infiltrative, and patient-specific growth patterns that are only partially visible on routine MRI, making it difficult to reliably assess true tumor extent and personalize treatment planning and follow-up. We…
In this work, we study the in-vitro dynamics of the most malignant form of the primary brain tumor: Glioblastoma Multiforme. Typically, the growing tumor consists of the inner dense proliferating zone and the outer less dense invasive…
Glioblastoma is the most malignant type of central nervous system tumor with GBM subtypes cleaved based on molecular level gene alterations. These alterations are also happened to affect the histology. Thus, it can cause visible changes in…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a fast-growing and highly invasive brain tumour, it tends to occur in adults between the ages of 45 and 70 and it accounts for 52 percent of all primary brain tumours. Usually, GBMs are detected by magnetic…
Diffuse gliomas are highly infiltrative tumors whose early diagnosis and follow-up usually rely on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the limited sensitivity of this technique makes it impossible to directly assess the extent of the…
Diffuse gliomas are malignant brain tumors that grow widespread through the brain. The complex interactions between neoplastic cells and normal tissue, as well as the treatment-induced changes often encountered, make glioma tumor growth…
Existing approaches to modeling the dynamics of brain tumor growth, specifically glioma, employ biologically inspired models of cell diffusion, using image data to estimate the associated parameters. In this work, we propose an alternative…
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain tumor with a median survival of approximately 15 months. In clinical practice, the Stupp protocol serves as the standard first-line treatment. However, patients exhibit highly heterogeneous…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive form of human brain cancer that is under active study in the field of cancer biology. Its rapid progression and the relative time cost of obtaining molecular data make other readily-available…
We proposed a fully automatic workflow for glioblastoma (GBM) survival prediction using deep learning (DL) methods. 285 glioma (210 GBM, 75 low-grade glioma) patients were included. 163 of the GBM patients had overall survival (OS) data.…
Background: Radiomics shows promise in characterizing glioblastoma, but its added value over clinical and molecular predictors has yet to be proven. This study assessed the added value of conventional radiomics (CR) and deep learning (DL)…
Glioblastomas are the most aggressive type of glioma, having a 5-year survival rate of 6.9%. Treatment typically involves surgery, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and frequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to monitor…
Background and Purpose: Biopsy is the main determinants of glioma clinical management, but require invasive sampling that fail to detect relevant features because of tumor heterogeneity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the…
Brain tumor growth is unique to each glioma patient and extends beyond what is visible in imaging scans, infiltrating surrounding brain tissue. Understanding these hidden patient-specific progressions is essential for effective therapies.…
The concept of tumor field effect implies that cancer is a systemic disease with its impact way beyond the visible tumor confines. For instance, in Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor, the increase in intracranial pressure due to…
Glioblastoma Multiforme is a malignant brain tumor with poor prognosis. There have been numerous attempts to model the invasion of tumorous glioma cells via partial differential equations in the form of advection-diffusion-reaction…
Our objective is the calibration of mathematical tumor growth models from a single multiparametric scan. The target problem is the analysis of preoperative Glioblastoma (GBM) scans. To this end, we present a fully automatic tumor-growth…
Highly malignant brain tumors such as Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) form complex growth patterns in vitro in which invasive cells organize in tenuous branches. Here, we formulate a chemotaxis model for this sort of growth. A key element…
Cancer histology reveals disease progression and associated molecular processes, and contains rich phenotypic information that is predictive of outcome. In this paper, we developed a computational approach based on deep learning to predict…
