Conditions

Patients with radiological appearances consistent with diffuse glioma or tissue-proven diffuse glioma Cancer

Interventions

Patients with radiological appearances consistent with diffuse glioma or tissue-proven diffuse glioma will undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopy scanning to assess IDH mutation status via the presen
IDH status will be compared with in vivo MRS detected 2-HG. Additional proteomic, metabolomic and gene expression tissue analysis will also be performed.
