Prognosis of Patients With Brainstem Glioblastoma Based on "age, surgery and radiotherapy": A SEER Database Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Primary brainstem glioma is a rare tumor with a dismal prognosis that poses significant treatment challenges. The purpose of the current study is to identify and determine prognostic factors associated with survival in high-grade brainstem glioma patients. Methods: We gathered the data from the SEER database for the duration of years from 1973 to 2016 to examine the survival of patients particularly reported with the high-grade brainstem glioma and subsequently ascertained the potential impact of demographic features, tumor, and clinical characteristics on the overall survival of these patients. The survival patterns were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed between patient
