Tumor - MRS for Distinguishing Recurrence vs. Radiation Necrosis

This episode delves into the use of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) for differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis in patients with treated intra-axial brain tumors. Based on the full text of a systematic review published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in 2026, we explore the study's design, findings, and clinical implications for oncologists and neuroradiologists. Understanding this distinction is crucial for appropriate patient management and treatment planning.
