Editorial 165 advanced whole-brain 3D sMRI sequence to guide RT dose escalation (75 Gy in 30 fractions) which yielded a median OS of 23 months (N= 30, enrolled at 3 institutions). 3 Furthermore, additional advanced imaging approaches including diffusion/perfusion MRI by Kim et al. and 18F-DOPA PET by Laack et al. to guide RT dose escalation (75 Gy and 76 Gy in 30 fractions, respectively) for GBMs have been evaluated clinically at the single institutional levels with similarly promising results. 9, 10 Interestingly, MGMT methylated patients on the SPECTRO GLIO trial had OS curves that appeared to separate after 24 months favoring HD RT. 1 This is reminiscent of the report by Laack et al. where MGMT methylated patients appear to derive greater survival benefit when treated with 18F-DOPA-guided HD RT. 10 These intriguing results suggest that the presence of MGMT methylation may define a GBM subgroup that gains more benefit from advanced imaging-guided RT dose escalation. However, these results are not definitive and can only be considered hypothesis-generating at this juncture with need for more rigorous assessment in future trials. In closing, we need to be cautious not to discount all advanced quantitative imaging techniques as a means of guiding HD RT for GBM just because the initial randomized trial assessing one such approach is negative. However, many lessons can be learned from this effort including the successes with harmonizing acquisition and use of a quantitative imaging modality across institutions as well as potential issues with determining the best threshold for identifying high-risk diseases. We hope that further efforts to utilize other advanced imaging modalities, or even more sophisticated versions of MRSI such as whole brain
