Forecasting Molecular Features in IDH-Wildtype Gliomas: The State of the Art of Radiomics Applied to Neurosurgery

Simple Summary The prognostic expectancies of patients affected by glioblastoma have remained almost unchanged during the last thirty years. Along with specific oncological research and surgical technical alternatives, corollary disciplines are requested to provide their contributions to improve patient management and outcomes. Technological improvements in radiology have led to the development of radiomics, a new discipline able to detect tumoral phenotypical features through the extraction and analysis of a large amount of data. Intuitively, the early foreseeing of glioma features may constitute a tremendous contribution to the management of patients. The present manuscript analyzes the p…

Liquid Biopsy in Diagnosis and Prognosis of High-Grade Gliomas; State-of-the-Art and Literature Review

Gliomas, particularly high-grade gliomas, represent the most common and aggressive tumors of the CNS and are still burdened by high mortality and a very poor prognosis, regardless of the type of therapy. Their diagnosis and monitoring rely on imaging techniques and direct biopsy of the pathological tissue; however, both procedures have inherent limitations. To address these limitations, liquid biopsies have been proposed in this field. They could represent an innovative tool that could help clinicians in the early diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of these tumors. Furthermore, the rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has led to a significant reduction in seq…
