  • 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.
