Abstract
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) accounts for approximately 20% of primary adult-brain neoplasms and has a poor prognosis; life expectancy is 12 months or less after diagnosis. Temozolomide (TMZ) has become the standard therapy for GBM, combined with surgery and radiochemotherapy. Evaluation is important due to its association with the continuity or termination of therapy. Several studies have aimed to improve the measurement of the therapy response of GBM. The Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria, published in 2010, has become a widely used tool for evaluating TMZ response in patients with GBM. These criteria combine clinical manifestation, steroid therapy, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
