Impact of morphology and biology on the prognosis of patients with gliomas.

Abstract excerpt

Gliomas are the most common type of primary intracerebral neoplasm. They carry a dismal prognosis. The main prognostic factors are patient age, performance status and malignancy grade. Because patients with the same histologic diagnosis have variable outcomes, there is a need to develop better prognostic markers with the aim of predicting tumor behaviour and response to therapies.
