Overview
Natural History
Prognosis
- The median survival time from the time of diagnosis without any treatment is 3 months. Increasing age (> 60 years of age) carries a worse prognostic risk. Death is usually due to cerebral edema or increased intracranial pressure.
- With standard treatment (radiotherapy, chemotherapy (such as temozolomide), and surgery), the median survival is approximately 14 months.[1] Less than 10% of these patients survive past 5 years.
- A study published in 2007 reported the 2-year survival at 27.3%, 3-year survival 16.7% and 4 year survival 12.9%.[2]
