Recurrent glioma, in both adults and children, is associated with a high mortality rate. With surgery being the only current treatment option, European researchers worked towards novel imaging tools that support personalised therapies.
Cancer diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring pose significant challenges as they often rely on invasive procedures such as biopsies. When it comes to brain tumours, this is particularly difficult and necessitates novel less invasive approaches.
