(A) Axial T1-weighted contrast enhanced MRI of left frontal recurrent glioblastoma (a) before and (b) 1 day after therapy with cediranib (pan-VEGFR inhibitor) showing significant reduction in contrast enhancement. The reduction in contrast enhancement within 1 day of therapy is more likely to be caused by reduced vascular permeability to contrast than to a true antitumor effect. (Slide courtesy of A.

Axial T1-weighted contrast enhanced MRI of right parietal glioblastoma (a) before and (b) 1 day after therapy with XL184 (VEGFR and MET inhibitor) showing significant reduction in contrast enhancement.
