Overview
Natural History
Complication
Common complications of gliomatosis cerebri include:[1]
- Hydrocephalus
- Metastasis
- Recurrence
Prognosis
- Prognosis of gliomatosis cerebri is generally poor, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with treatment is approximately 17.7%.[2]
- The median survival time of gliomatosis cerebri is 14 months.[3]
- The prognosis of gliomatosis cerebri depends on the following:
- Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery
- Age of the patient
- Age < 10 year is associated with worse prognosis
- Size of the tumor
- Stage of the cancer
- Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred
- Location of tumor
- Infratentorial tumor was associated with shorter survival.[3]
