Cancer. 1991 Feb 15;67(4 Suppl):1278-83. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19910215)67:4+<1278::aid-cncr2820671526>3.0.co;2-u.

Abstract

A classification and staging system for primary adult gliomas was proposed. This system uses the high signal intensity found on proton density or T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) scans at the site of the tumor and surrounding edema (including infiltrating tumor).
