Extent of Resection, MGMT Promoter Methylation Status and Tumor Location Independently Predict Progression-Free Survival in Adult Sporadic Pilocytic Astrocytoma

Extent of Resection, MGMT Promoter Methylation Status and Tumor Location Independently Predict Progression-Free Survival in Adult Sporadic Pilocytic Astrocytoma

In adults, pilocytic astrocytomas (PA) account for less than 2% of gliomas, resulting in uncertainty regarding the clinical course and optimal treatment, particularly in cases where gross total resection (GTR) could not be achieved. Moreover, information on molecular markers and their prognostic imp...
