Özet

Aim: In adults glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the deadly and utmost communal brain tumor. GBM has poor

prognosis and the median general endurance hardly surpasses one-year. In this study, we retrospectively

assessed the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with GBM and to recognize significant

prognostic factors that may be associated with better results in our population.

Material and Methods: The clinicopathological, treatment parameters (ie, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the

surgical resection extent) and demographic parameters were attained from medical records. SPSS version 23.0

was applied for all statistical analyzes. The overall survival and median progression-free survival was 14.1 and 10

months; correspondingly.

Results: In the subjects with the longest overall survival group, a tumor was found in the frontotemporal area, and

then in the frontal area. In a univariate analysis, age, co-administration of adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) and

chemoradiotherapy were prognosticators of both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).

Though, in multivariate analysis, radiotherapy and age were important determinants of endurance. Subjects who

received the cyber-knife after relapse had a lengthier operating system.

Conclusion: The patients were retrospectively assessed with GBM in the facility, and the outcomes confirmed

formerly testified factors influencing GBM endurance.
