RTHP-30. MANAGEMENT OF GLIOBLASTOMA IN THE ELDERLY - A 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF THE BC CANCER AGENCY POPULATION

摘要

PURPOSE: Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common primary tumours of the brain and carry an extremely poor prognosis. Despite recent publications, management of the elderly remains heterogeneous. We investigate the impact of patient characteristics and treatment modalities on the outcome of elderly patients with GBM in British Columbia (BC) from 2005–2015.METHODSUsing the BC Cancer Agency patient registry, 822 adults diagnosed from 2005–2015, age 60 with histologically confirmed GBM ICD-O-3 codes (9440/3, 9441/3, 9442/3) were identified. Univariate, multivariate and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed on patient characteristics and treatment modalities for overall survival (OS).
