Popis: Several studies show that subventricular zone (SVZ) contact of glioblastoma at diagnosis is a negative prognosticator of survival. In this report, we study glioblastoma patient survival, molecular biological and MRI-based volumetric findings according to SVZ contact.We conducted a retrospective study of adult patients diagnosed with supratentorial glioblastoma and uniformly treated with temozolomide-based chemoradiotherapy after surgery. The patient cohort was dichotomized according to tumor contact with the SVZ at diagnosis as determined on preoperative MR imaging. Tumor volume was measured using semi-automated segmentation technique. MGMT-gene promoter methylation and IDH mutation status were determined on stored tumor tissue. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed. Cox regression analysis was used to adjust for known confounding factors of glioblastoma patient survival.A total of 214 patients were included in the study of whom 68% belonged to the SVZThis study confirms SVZ contact at diagnosis as an independent negative prognostic factor for glioblastoma patient survival.
