Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the optimal MET uptake parameter and signal transduction factor for prognosis of glioma patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To reveal whether we predict the expression of signal transduction factors and the degree of malignancy using MET uptake parameters. To investigate whether MET uptake and the expression of signal transduction factors have an influence on the management of therapy such as molecular target therapy in glioma patients. To reveal the relationship between amino acid metabolism and tumorgenesis of glioma using MET uptake, signal transduction factors, and clnicopathological factors. | — |
