pubmed:abstractText
All patients in a randomized study comparing chemotherapy with chemotherapy plus radiotherapy for patients with astrocytomas grade 3 and 4, were considered for reoperation when tumour progression was established. Fifty-eight patients were reoperated and 85 were not. Different prognostic factors, such as age, sex, Karnofsky performance status and reoperation were evaluated univariately and simultaneously in a multivariate model. The Karnofsky index and age were found to be independent prognostic factors, while re-operation could not be demonstrated to prolong life when controlled for age and the Karnofsky index. We review the literature on re-operation of malignant astrocytomas.
