|
|
A retrospective analysis was performed on 49 patients with astrocytoma of glioblastoma multiforme of brain who received postoperative radiotherapy in the period between February 1979 and December 1985.
Fourteen patients had grade I astrocytoma, 11 patients grade Ⅱ, 14 patients grade Ⅲ, and 10 patients glioblastoma multiforme. Three year actuarial surival rates were 85.7%, 44.6% and 23.1% for grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ, and Ⅲ astrocytomas, respectively. One and 2 year actuarial survival rates for patients with glioblastoma multiforme were 54.5% and 27.3%, respectively.
Histologic grade, age, extent of operation and tumor location were revealed to be prognosticators.
