.... We found that the methionine-related metabolism of LGG can increase or decrease significantly in the first months after a GKR procedure; these early PET changes age unrelated with histology and are not predictive of the efficacy of GKR. PET with [11C]methionine performed at ≥1 year after GKR seems...
