Glioblastoma Treatment in Elderly Patients: A Single Institution Experience between 2004 and 2011 (P01.104)

February 14, 2013, from MedWorm: Brain Tumor

CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes in elderly patients with proved glioblastoma are really improved by surgery, followed by chemoradiation if their clinical status allows it. And for patients with comorbidities or bad tumour location, we propose chemotherapy by temozolomide without histopathological proof if we have MRI or CT scan strong positive arguments for a high-grade glioma.Disclosure: Dr. Desse has nothing to disclose.
