Overall survival in adult patients with low-grade, supratentorial glioma: Ten years' follow up at a single institution.
Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are the second most prevalent type of primary brain tumors in adults. The prognosis for LGGs can differ according to the clinical-pathological prognostic factors determined during diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify 10-year, disease-free survival (DFS), 10-year overall survival (OS), and related clinical-pathological prognostic factors of adult patients with supratentorial, low-grade gliomas who were treated with or without surgery and radiation therapy.
