For glioblastoma, the survival rates are: One year: 25% Two years: 8-12% Five years: 5% These numbers can’t predict what will happen to an individual, though. A person’s age, type of tumor, and overall health play a role. As treatments improve, people newly diagnosed with these agg...
Glioblastoma: the consequences of advanced patient age on treatment and survival.Neurosurg Rev. 2007;30(1):56- 61.Stark AM, Hedderich J, Held-Feindt J, Mehdorn HM (2007) Glioblastoma–the consequences of advanced patient age on treatment and survival. Neurosurg Rev 30(1):56–66...
Despite very different transcriptomic profiles and associated genomic alterations, no differences in survival exist between these subtypes. More recently, it has been shown that multiple subtypes coexist in different regions21,22 and different cells12,20 within the same tumor. This interpatient and ...

There were 23 men and 12 women, ranging in age from 12 to 73 years (mean 46.5 years, median 47 years). Karnofsky performance scores ranged from 30 to 100, with an average of 78.2 (median 80). Primary Survival The 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year survival rates were 75%, 42...
demonstrated that a combination of anti-CTLA-4 (9D9 mouse IgG2b, K) and anti-PD-1 (332.8H3 mouse IgG1, K) agents assured long-term survival in 75% of treated mice, while the use of these agents as a monotherapy showed much lower effect, with survival rates of 50% for anti–PD-...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common high-grade primary malignant brain tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Given the poor survival with currently approved treatments for GBM, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Advances in decades of in
12,15 In fact, the potential benefit of S-S has never been explored in a randomized study suggesting that the increased survival attributed to S-S may be due to bias in patient selection. Consensus guidelines to select candidates for S-S have been proposed by some authors,16 but...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating and incurable brain tumour, with a median overall survival of fifteen months1,2. Identifying the cell of origin that harbours mutations that drive GBM could provide a fundamental basis for understanding disease progression and developing new treatments. Given that...
Butterfly glioblastoma (bGBM) is a rare brain tumor that invades both hemispheres by crossing the corpus callosum. bGBM is associated with a dismal prognosis with a median survival time of a few months. Surgical resection is a rare treatment option due to the unfavorable location and assumed poo...
