* "True progression versus pseudoprogression in the treatment of glioblastomas: a comparison study of normalized cerebral blood volume and apparent diffusion coefficient by histogram analysis."

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to differentiate true progression from pseudoprogression of glioblastomas treated with concurrent **chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with temozolomide (TMZ) by using histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized cerebral blood volume (nCBV) maps.

Concept of chemoradiation and or chemoradiotherapy in treating cancer

Our personal focus was and is to keep dormant micromets from growing in Joshua's brain :roll:
The concept of combination treatments is to do the same in possibly different cancer scenerios, plus reducing the existing tumor(s) is a bonus. :)
