Gliobasltoma, is the most common primary malignant and fatal brain tumor. The mTOR-EGFR pathway is important for treatment response and overall survival (OS). Our translational research found that the molecular signature of mTOR correlated with maximal rCBV ratio of peri-enhancing tumor area (rCBVperi-tumor), the patients with high rCBVperi-tumor had shorter OS, and combination of rCBVperi-tumor and mTOR could improve prediction of survival time in patients with glioblastoma.
