Dr. Enéas Carvalho de Aguiar, 255, São Paulo, 05403-010, Brazil, Email [email protected] View the original paper by Dr Duy Hung and colleagues Dear editor Gliomas represent about 30% of tumors of the central nervous system (CNS)[1] and, in adults, about 70% of these are supratentorial.[2] The most successful treatment involves chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical resection with at least 2 cm of margin,[3] and studying peritumoral white matter pathways preoperatively is relevant enabling early assessment of risk and reduction of neurological complications. They concluded that DTI should be used in a preoperative context for better planning of surgical resection of supratentorial gliomas and predict motor function outcomes.
