Abstract
Spread along nerve fiber bundles is one of the most important modes of glioma invasion; however, the current guidelines for radiotherapy target areas recommend a 1–2-cm margin in all directions from the tumor border based on pretreatment imaging findings. In this article, we analyzed the relationship between edema and nerve fiber bundles in 60 glioma patients and aimed to clarify the effect of including edema on delineation of the target volume.
