title: Clinical applications of imaging biomarkers. Part 3. The neuro-oncologist's perspective.
abstract: Radiation therapy is an important treatment modality in the management of brain tumours. Imaging biomarkers continue to be a focus of active investigation and there is increasing evidence of the utility of biomarkers in refining the overall management plan. This article briefly reviews the literature and outlines the possible clinical applications of imaging biomarkers in neuro-oncology.
