Peritumoral edema on MRI at initial diagnosis: an independent prognostic factor for glioblastoma?

Background:  Peritumoral brain edema in glioblastoma patients is a frequently encountered phenomenon that strongly contributes to neurological signs and symptoms. The role of peritumoral edema as a prognostic factor is controversial.
