Pilocytic Astrocytoma: An institutional perspective over the last decade
This study of pilocytic astrocytoma over the past decade in a low-and-middle-income country highlights survival rates (1-year, 5-year, 10-year) reported for the first time in this population. Survival trends varied by age, leptomeningeal disease, extent of resection, and radiological tumor patterns. Cox regression identified radiological patterns, CNS infections, and endocrinological dysfunction as key predictors of overall survival.
