Table 3. Comparing progression-free survival between the groups based on the extent of resection and administration of adjuvant treatment.
N | Adjuvant Tx | Recur | Median-PFS | 5 yr-PFS | p-value* | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group 1 (GTR) | 193 | 16 (8.2%) | NR | 95% | ||
Group 2 (NTR with adjuvant Tx) | 4 | RT: 1, GKS: 3 | 0 | NR | 100% | 0.405 |
Group 3 (NTR without adjuvant Tx) | 49 | 14 (28.5%) | 7.0 yrs | 65% | <0.001 | |
Group 4 (STR with adjuvant Tx) | 19 | RT: 13, GKS: 6 | 3 (15.7%) | NR | 80% | 0.135 |
Group 5 (STR without adjuvant Tx) | 24 | 14 (58.3%) | 3.7 yrs | 35% | <0.001 |
*survival analysis versus Group 1 by Kaplan-Meier, log rank test. GTR, gross total removal; NTR, near total removal; STR, subtotal removal; Tx, treatment; PFS, progression free survival; RT, conventional radiotherapy; GKS, gamma knife radiosurgery; NR, not reached
