Lymphocytic infiltrates in primary glioblastomas and recidivous gliomas. Incidence, fate, and relevance to prognosis in 228 operated cases.

摘要: The correlation existing in several human malignancies between lymphocytic infiltration and prolonged survival prompted this study. Two hundred selected patients who were operated on for glioblastoma reviewed to investigate the incidence of histological slides its possible relevance a better clinical course. group that exhibited definite (Group A, 11.5%) had significantly longer preoperative history postoperative (p less than 0.01) other two groups presented slight or no B, 23%, Group C, 65%, respectively). In addition, biopsies 28 recidivous gliomas study fate relation time therapy, such as irradiation steroids which are known depress immune response. authors found severe is rare immunobiological reaction improves prognosis malignant brain tumor seems not be influenced by time, local x-ray steroids.
