Comparative Study
Prognostic factors in high-grade malignant glioma. A multivariate analysis of 76 cases with postoperative radiotherapy.
Patients with malignant gliomas have a limited survival prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed data of malignant glioma patients with the aim of defining prognostic factors on which individualized treatment strategies might be built on. ⋯ Age of the patient is the most important factor for survival prognosis favouring younger age (< or = 45 years). The possible implications for radiation therapy are discussed.
