Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Although the prognosis for malignant gliomas is normally dismal, it's not infrequent in neurooncologist's experience to find cases with unusually prolonged survival. In order to understand what factors influence survival of high grade glioma patients, a cohort of 196 high (III-IV) grade glioma patients was investigated for possible association between (1) survival and age at diagnosis; (2) survival and micronuclei in tumor tissue; (3) survival and gender; (4) micronuclei in tumor tissue and age at diagnosis.
RESULTS:Patients diagnosed at an older age (>64 years) had a significantly higher hazard as compared to younger patients ( journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
