  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All cases that fullfill the selection criteria that will be admitted in the department of neurosurgery Assuit university hospital 01/11/2020 to 30/10/2021. Sample size was calculated using Epi- Info7. The previous study reported that, percentage of complications after re-operation in recurrent glioma was 65%. Based on this percentage and with a confidence limits of 10% and a confidence level of 80%, the minimum sample needed for the study was estimated to be 20 patients. Patients whose follow-ups will be lost because of death or any other cause will be excluded from this study (expected to be 25%). Additionally, the competence of follow-up will be approved by imaging and medical records.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient previously operated and documented as a glioma with clinical and neuroimaging and pathological evidences.
  • Patients who will undergo re-operation for treatment of a recurrent brain glioma at the time of study(one year) Histological types : Different histological types of glioma.

Who cannot join

  • patients has brain glioma that is de novo patients who are unfit for any neurosurgical interventions. Multicentric recurrent glioma.

About this study

role of surgery in treatment of recurrent brain glioma prognostic factors and outcome measures Role of surgery : In patients with Grade I gliomas, such as pilocytic astrocytomas, resection is potentially curative.

For more diffuse invasive gliomas (Grade II or higher), initial management typically includes maximal safe resection when possible.

Read more

Increasing evidence supports an association between extent of resection and prolonged progression-free and overall survival for patients with diffuse gliomas of all types and grades Many studies reported that more that 90%of patients with glioma showed recurrence at the orginal tumor location.

Review the outcomes of re-operation in treatment of recurrent brain gliomas To determine the prognostic factors which can predict which patient would benefit from multiple surgery .

Trail to Improve the outcome of these patients and decrease rate of complications

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. karnofsky performance status

    A standard way of measuring the ability of cancer patients to perform ordinary tasks. The Karnofsky Performance Status scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score means the patient is better able to carry out daily activities. Karnofsky Performance Status may be used to determine a patient's prognosis, to measure changes in a patient's ability to function, or to decide if a patient could be included in a clinical trial. Also called KPS.

    Measured: 1year
