Reply to 'Survival analysis for apparent diffusion coefficient measures in children with embryonal brain tumors,' by Grech-Sollars et al.

摘要

Dear Editor: We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Survival analysis for apparent diffusion coefficient measures in children with embryonal brain tumors" in Neuro-Oncology. We have several observations regarding this manuscript. Although the method described was found to be correlated with survival among adults with glioblastoma, adult glioblastoma constitutes a homogeneous group of tumor characteristics and patient presentations.
