The recognition that contrast enhancement is nonspecific and may not always be a true surrogate of tumor response and the need to account for the nonenhancing component of the tumor mandate that new criteria be developed and validated to permit accurate assessment of the efficacy of novel therapies.

In a cohort of patients with grade 2 glioma who were younger than 40 years of age and had undergone subtotal tumor resection or who were 40 yearsof age or older, progression-free survival and overall survival were longer among those who received combination chemotherapy in addition to radiation therapy than amongThose who received radiation therapy alone.
