Pseudoprogression (PsPD) following radiation and chemotherapy in patients with Glioblastoma multiforme is difficult to distinguish from progressive disease. The aim of our study was to identify early signs of PsPD in brain MRI after standard therapy including surgery, radiation and temozolomide. Out of 74 Patients with standard therapy, we retrospectively identified 47 with early progression in MRI within the first 6 months. Patients were divided in groups of “real
