12 Anatomy as prognosis: are frontal lobe glioblastomas associated with worse outcomes? A single-centre retrospective population-based review
Abstract Introduction Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain malignancy with universally poor outcomes, and multiple covariant prognostic factors. While clinicians have long suspected that GBM’s lobe-location influences surgical and functional outcomes, its independent effect on survival has not been previously established. We aimed to determine whether frontal lobe involvement is associated with reduced overall survival in patients with GBM. Methods A retrospective cohort review of 58 patients diagno …
