Abstract
|
|
|
|
Despite multimodal therapy, glioblastoma multiforme(GBM) is associated with a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than 1 year. GBM with long-term survival over 5 years is rare, and no definite markers of better prognosis have been identified till date. We present two patients who were diagnosed a frontal GBM and a cerebellar GBM respectively. Both patients were survived for more than 5 years, who had been treated with surgery, Novalis radiosurgery and chemotherapy. We also discussed prognostic factors who were long term survival with GBM.
