Note:—AA indicates anaplastic astrocytoma; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; KPS, Karnofsky performance scale; rCBV, relative cerebral blood volume.
* Data are 2-year overall survival rates, expressed as percentages.
† P values were calculated by using the logrank test.
‡ Neurologic function sufficient to enable the patient to work or limited so that the patient is either confined to the home or hospitalized.
