Recursive Partitioning Analysis (RPA) of Scott et al for a Patient >= 70 Years Old with Glioblastoma

Description

Scott et al used recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) to evaluate a patient >= 70 years old with glioblastoma multiforme. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from multiple hospitals in the United States and France.

Patient selection: glioblastoma multiforme and age >= 70 years

Outcome: median survival

Parameters:

(1) surgical procedure

(2) age of the patient in years

(3) Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

Surgery	Age in Years	KPS	Median Survival
biopsy	NA	70 to 100	4.3-4.6 months
biopsy	NA	< 70	2.3-3.1 months
resection (gross total, partial)	< 75.5 years	NA	8.5-9.3 months
resection (gross total, partial)	>= 75.5 years	NA	6.4-7.7 months

where:

• The range comes from data at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the French data set.
