“…Thus, all resected tumors should be followed with serial MRI scans postoperatively. In a commentary (13), it was calculated that to detect a 10% or 100% increase (doubling) in risk of tumor recurrence between total resection and subtotal resection, sufficient patients would need to be studied to observe 6,429 and 122 tumor recurrences, respectively. It is clear that national tumor registries or, at a minimum, multicenter collaborations are required to achieve such numbers.…”
