Evaluation of Significance in Operation Radicalism and Age for the Length of Survival Period in Patients with High Grade Glioma
2005
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the significance of operation radicalism for the length of survival period in patients after neurosurgery of high grade glioma of brain. Statistics of our group of patients proved that radical operation (greather than 98 %) significantly prolongs the survival period in comparison with patients with lower radicalism of operation.
The age of patient and histologic tumor grading were also significant factors for the length of survival period. The volume of residual tumor was on boundary of statistical significance.
Conclusions: Histologic type of the tumor, operation radicalism and age of the patient are important for the length of survival period in patients with high grade glioma.
