Abstract :
Materials Methods: The majority of the patients who were diagnosed with the glioblastoma at GMC, Bhopal. The only exceptions are the patients that have died or were not fit enough for referral. Among these patients, we have searched for those, which were older than 70 years at the time of diagnosis Result: When comparing the groups of the patients younger than 70 with those older, the difference in median survival between groups was statistically significant at p < 0>
Conclusion: Microsurgery is safe and effective in order to improve or preserve short-term quality of life in glioblastoma patients. Total tumor resection is not associated with a significantly greater risk for neurological deterioration, either in patients with preoperative functional impairment, or in functionally independent patients. For glioblastoma the survival also depends on person’s age, type of tumor, and overall health play a role as treatments improve people newly diagnosed with these aggressive brain tumors may have a better outcome.
Glioblastoma is linked to age, with better rates for those below 65 years of age, but also to aggressive and complete surgical excision, a good Karnofsky index score before surgery and the application of radiotherapy after surgery
Study Design: Observational Study.
