Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common astrocytoma in adults and has a poor prognosis, with a median survival of about 12 months. But, it is rare in children. We report our experience on the pediatric population (20 years or younger) with GBM.
Twenty-three patients with GBM who were treated at our hospital during 1990-2008 were evaluated.
The mean age was 15.2 years, and the majority of them (14/23) were male. All had received radiotherapy and some had also received chemotherapy. The mean survival was 16.0 months. Two cases survived more than 5 years. Age, radiation dose and performance status were significantly related to survival.
GBM in pediatric patients were not very common in our center, and prognosis was unfavorable.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是成人中最常见的星形细胞瘤,预后较差,中位生存期约为12个月。但在儿童中较为罕见。我们报告了我们对儿童(20岁及以下)GBM患者的治疗经验。
对1990年至2008年期间在我院接受治疗的23例GBM患者进行了评估。
平均年龄为15.2岁,大多数患者(14/23)为男性。所有患者均接受了放疗,部分患者还接受了化疗。平均生存期为16.0个月。2例患者存活超过5年。年龄、放疗剂量和功能状态与生存期显著相关。
在我们中心,儿童GBM患者并不常见,预后不佳。
