Project description

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate whether PET using 18F-fluoromethylcholine in patients who underwent neurosurgery for high-grade glioma and who present for aduvant radiotherapy can detect an early tumour recurrence. A secondary aim of the study is to compare PET data with data provided by MRI.
