postoperative neurological decline in 21% to 64% of patients [18, 22, 23, 24, 26].

Also, with previous studies, tumor dissemination was seen to be a signifi cant poor prognostic factor for surviva [11, 14, 22, 24]. However, in our study, it is not considered in this…

the outside or inside of a cell, increases or gets bigger it can spread to the outer layer of the cell causing a cancerous tumor.

Glioblastoma Gliomas account for more than 70% of all brain tumors, and of these, glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant histologic type (Ohgaki and Kleihues, 2007).

There are few treatments available for newly diagnosed patients; the most common is surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Based on multiple studies, there…

Age is an important factor in determining the response of brain tumors to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Patients over sixty years old have a lower response rate and shorter duration of response than younger patients. Tumor cells from younger patients were sensitive to BCNU, but cells from older patients barely responded to the BCNU. Only a few studies evaluate age as a parameter of response. Older patients may have to take medicine due to chronic illnesses, and this means that there…
