SVZ involvement in GBM patients may offer a unique
location based imaging biomarker in efforts to
individualize therapy and prognosis. Our work has shown
that these tumors also have increased rCBV in NEL
component of the tumor and worse survival as compared to
cortex-originating GBMs. Poor survival and a worse
vascular imaging phenotype probably reflects a more
aggressive tumor, which could be attributed to the
underlying differences in genomic/molecular make up and
therefore, could point to a neural stem cell origin for
these very heterogeneous and highly malignant tumors.
