Images from over 500 patients with glioblastoma were used to build location atlases corresponding to genetic and biologic abnormalities as well as prognosis based on age. Most glioblastomas grew into the periventricular regions adjacent to the subventricular zone. MGMT promoter methylated tumors occurred more frequently in the left temporal lobe in young patients, in IDH1 mutant tumors, in those having the proneural gene expression subtype, and in tumors lacking loss of PTEN that occurred most frequently in the frontal lobe. MGMT methylated tumors with IDH1 mutation tended to occur in the left frontal lobe. EGFR amplified and EGFR variant 3-expressing tumors were found most frequently in the left temporal lobe. Tumors in the left temporal lobe were associated with favorable response to radiochemotherapy and increased survival.
