Foundation Model Based on Routine Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Brain Tumor Molecular Profiling and Progression Prediction. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
UMBIF showed robust transferability to both post-therapy imaging assessment and molecular status prediction in glioma. By leveraging large-scale self-supervised pretraining to boost performance while reducing dependence on manual annotations, the framework may facilitate more efficient and reliable diagnostic workflows.

p16 and MGMT Methylation in Chronic Traumatic Ulcers: A Plausible Link Between Chronic Mechanical Irritation and Oral Carcinogenesis? (PubMed, J Oral Pathol Med)
Oral mucosa subjected to continuous exposure to CMI is associated with increased methylation of p16 and MGMT. Proper management of mechanical injury factors could be an important measure for OSCC prevention. In CMI, exfoliative cytology and the split-mouth design could be useful tools to study biomarkers. However, the role of CMI in oral carcinogenesis needs more evidence focusing on the biological phenomenon.

Biomechanical mapping of tumor growth: A novel method to quantify glioma infiltration and mass effect. (PubMed, Med Phys)
The DIR is a novel and robust quantitative MRI biomarker capable of distinguishing between proliferative and infiltrative GBM phenotypes, independently predicting OS. Early phenotype identification could facilitate personalized treatment strategies and individualized follow-up scheduling.

Tumor treating fields for newly diagnosed glioblastoma: a retrospective analysis. (PubMed, J Neurooncol)
The TTFields combined with Stupp regimen was associated with longer Survival outcome in patients with GBM. Additionally, higher patient compliance with TTFields treatment (≥ 0.81) and prolonged use of TTFields (> 2 months) are closely associated with improved prognosis.

Association between histogram parameters of T2 weighted MRI data, WHO grade, tumor proliferation index and selected molecular markers in low-grade glioma. (PubMed, Front Radiol)
No significance could be detected comparing SI histogram parameters between oligodendrogliomas and diffuse astrocytomas. Our investigation demonstrates the potential of T2 SI Entropy in distinguishing grade 1 from grade 2 gliomas and in reflecting the proliferative activity denoted by Ki-67 expression, therefore being a promising HA feature for assessing tumor heterogeneity.

Impact of IDH mutation and MGMT methylation as Independent prognostic markers in uniformly treated high grade glioma Patients: A Real-World evidence in the Indian Population. (PubMed, Brain Res)
All patients underwent maximal safe resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and concurrent plus maintenance temozolomide (TMZ)...However, in IDHwt patients, unmethylated status was associated with worse OS (HR 3.66, p < 0.001) compared to methylated (HR 2.16, p = 0.009). These findings reaffirm the prognostic significance of IDH mutations and MGMTp methylation in GBM, underscoring their relevance in clinical stratification and treatment planning.

Association Between MGMT Promoter Methylation and Clinical and Lifestyle Factors in Glioblastoma: A Single-Center Study in Korea. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Additionally, a history of hypertension was associated with MGMT promoter methylation after multivariate adjustment (adjusted OR, 3.6; p = 0.03). MGMT promoter methylation in glioblastoma was associated with current smoking and a history of hypertension, suggesting lifestyle-related factors may influence epigenetic mechanisms underlying MGMT promoter methylation in glioblastoma.

MRI-Based Radiomics for Non-Invasive Prediction of Molecular Biomarkers in Gliomas. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Radiomics demonstrates strong potential for the non-invasive prediction of key glioma molecular biomarkers, achieving high diagnostic performance across diverse computational approaches. However, widespread clinical translation remains hindered by heterogeneous imaging protocols, limited standardization, insufficient external validation, and variable methodological rigor.
