Sorted by pathologic grade and then by time to LM.
Age – age at initial diagnosis.
Location (of primary tumor): t + o, temporal + occipital; f, frontal; Pathology: GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; AOA, anaplastic oligoastrocytoma; AO, anaplastic oligodendroglioma; O, oligodendroglioma; O vs. OA, oligodendroglioma vs. oligoastrocytoma; Progressions, number of progressions (after intial treatment) before LM diagnosed. These were diagnosed clinically and prompted a change in treatment.
