Does Extent of Resection Increase the Survival in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiformis?
Background: The extent of tumor resection that should be undertaken in patients with GBM remains controversial. This study aims to clarify some independent predicting factors and to emphasis the role and the extent of tumor resection in increasing the survival of patients with GBM. Methods: We prospectively analyzed a cohort of 25 consecutive patients with histologically proven GBM who underwen...
متن کاملExtent of Resection and Survival in Glioblastoma Multiforme.
OBJECTIVE The influence of the degree of resection on survival in patients with glioblastoma multiforme is still under discussion. The highly controlled 5-aminolevulinic acid study provided a unique platform for addressing this question as a result of the high frequency of "complete" resections, as revealed by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans achieved by fluorescence-guided resect...

متن کاملDelaying standard combined chemoradiotherapy after surgical resection does not impact survival in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients.
BACKGROUND To assess the influence of the time interval between surgical resection and standard combined chemoradiotherapy on survival in newly diagnosed and homogeneously treated (surgical resection plus standard combined chemoradiotherapy) glioblastoma patients; while controlling confounding factors (extent of resection, carmustine wafer implantation, functional status, neurological deficit, ...
متن کاملExtent of resection in patients with glioblastoma: limiting factors, perception of resectability, and effect on survival.
OBJECT The extent of resection (EOR) is a known prognostic factor in patients with glioblastoma. However, gross-total resection (GTR) is not always achieved. Understanding the factors that prevent GTR is helpful in surgical planning and when counseling patients. The goal of this study was to identify demographic, tumor-related, and technical factors that influence EOR and to define the relation...
