Modified RPA Prognostic Model of Li et al for a Patient with Glioblastoma Multiforme

Description

Li et al simplified the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) recursive partitioning analysisi (RPA) classification for glioblastoma. The authors are from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, RTOG Statistical Center, Wake Forest University, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Emory University and the University of Wisconsin.

Patient selection: glioblastoma multiforme

Parameers:

(1) age in years

(2) Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS)

(3) surgery performed

(4) neurologic function

Age	KPS	Surgery	Neurologic Function	Median Survival
< 50 years	>= 90	NA	NA	17.1 months
< 50 years	< 90	NA	NA	11.2 months
>= 50 years	>= 70	resected	good, working	11.2 months
>= 50 years	>= 70	resected	not good, not working	7.5 months
>= 50 years	>= 70	not resected (biopsy only)	NA	7.5 months
>= 50 years	< 70	NA	NA	7.5 months
