Prognostic Factors in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme and Anaplastic Astrocytoma Treated with Selective Intra-arterial Chemotherapy

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Factors predictive of primary brain tumor outcome have been studied extensively, although the prognostic value of radiologic data, such as MR imaging and angiographic characteristics, has not been studied in depth. The purpose of this study was to determine whether radiologic data were prognostic factors among patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma treated with selective intra-arterial chemotherapy.
