Synopsis

Keywords: Tumors (Pre-Treatment), Tumor, Glioma, Glioblastoma

Motivation: Non-invasive prediction of GBM’s pMGMT methylation status is still challenging despite recent advancements of image analysis.

Goal(s): This study explored a clinically feasible imaging biomarker that represents GBM’s pMGMT methylation status with external validation.

Approach: Two qualitative imaging features, namely the “Thickened structure” and the “Methylated contrast phenotype,” were identified as valuable to this means.

Results: GBMs presenting both imaging features exhibited a significantly high odds ratio, favoring pMGMT methylation in the exploratory and validation cohorts with a sensitivity and specificity of approximately 0.3-0.4 and 0.8. The easy clinical application of the proposed imaging features is expected to facilitate better preoperative GBM characterization.
