Radiotherapy planning for glioblastoma based on a tumor growth model: Improving target volume delineation [PDF]
Glioblastoma are known to infiltrate the brain parenchyma instead of forming a solid tumor mass with a defined boundary. Only the part of the tumor with high tumor cell density can be localized through imaging directly.
