Overview
Natural History
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally poor, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with treatment for gliomatosis cerebri is approximately 17.7%.[1]
The prognosis for gliomatosis cerebri is generally poor, with a median survival time of only 12 months.[2] and it depends on the following:
- Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery
- The stage of the cancer: the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread outside the brain
- The patient’s general health
- Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred
