Elderly Patients With Glioblastoma and Good Prognostic Factors May Achieve Equivalent Median Survival to Younger Patients When Managed With Standard Long‐Course Rather Than Elderly Protocols
When stratified for performance status and MGMT methylation, elderly patients had similar outcomes compared with the younger cohort. This suggests that elderly patients who managed well following diagnosis and subsequent surgical procedure may be optimally treated with long-course standard rather than elderly protocols.
