Fig. 9.1 GASC features. The scheme depicts the protocol used to isolate GASC, the GASC features that have been analyzed and the assays used 9.3.1 GASC Are a Population of…
Fig. 16.1 Illustrative case of pre- versus post-operative growth rates. Note that one can estimate the oncological gain of surgery: the re-evolution curve is translated by about 6 years. Note…
Fig. 23.1 The largest surgical serie of DLGG ever reported, by the French Glioma Network, which demonstrated with an experience of 1097 patients that both the postsurgical residual volume (upper)…
Fig. 35.1 Suspected DLGG of incidental discovery in a 50-years old lady on axial FLAIR-weighted MRI. No evolution was evidenced over three years of follow-up (left: June 2013, right: June…
Fig. 21.1 Three network types as described by Watts and Strogatz [20]. At the one end of the spectrum is the regular or ordered network. At the other end is…
This type of analysis can be used on different MR sequences or CT slices. Yet, portrayed texture from necrosis, which may be important to detect during LGG transformation, may be…
Fig. 12.1 (a) Example of a left parietal diffuse low-grade glioma. Brain tissue specimens were sampled inside the tumor (Tu) and from the neocortex infiltrated by sparse glioma cells (Cx)….
