New method for distinguishing tumour tissue could improve glioblastoma resection
A research team from the Czech National Institute for Cancer Research (NÚVR) and Stanford University has discovered a new way to accurately delineate the extent of glioblastoma, a tumour characterised by infiltrative growth.
