Extent of Resection, MGMT Promoter Methylation Status and Tumor Location Independently Predict Progression-Free Survival in Adult Sporadic Pilocytic Astrocytoma
29 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
In adults, pilocytic astrocytomas (PA) account for less than 2% of gliomas, resulting in uncertainty regarding the clinical course and optimal treatment, particularly in cases where gross total resection (GTR) could not be achieved. Moreover, information on molecular markers and their prognostic impact is sparse. In order to improve risk stratification, we analyzed our institutional series of 58 patients aged 17...
