Main studies evaluating EOR and RV in patients with GBM.

Author, Year Study Type Patient Population Conclusion
Lacroix et al., 2001 [8] Retrospective 416 patients with GBM EOR ≥ 98% improved median survival
Sanai et al., 2011 [10] Retrospective 500 patients with newly diagnosed GBM EOR ≥ 78% improved OS
Oppenlander et al., 2014 [11] Retrospective 170 patients with recurrent GBM EOR ≥ 80% improved OS
Bloch et al., 2012 [12] Retrospective 107 patients with recurrent GBM GTR improved OS regardless of initial EOR
Lu et al., 2019 [13] Meta-analysis 1507 patients with GBM Maximal resection at reoperation improved OS
Chaichana et al., 2014 [14] Retrospective 84 patients with newly diagnosed GBM RV < 2 cm3 and EOR > 95% presented the greatest reduction in the risk of death
Orringer et al., 2012 [9] Retrospective 46 patients with GBM EOR ≥ 90% improved 1-year survival
Li et al., 2017 [15] Meta-analysis 1618 patients with GBM GTR improved 1-year OS and PFS
Grabowski et al., 2014 [16] Retrospective 128 patients with newly diagnosed GBM RV < 2 cm3 and EOR > 98% improved OS
Bette et al., 2018 [17] Retrospective 209 patients with newly diagnosed GBM RV was significantly associated with survival
Chaichana et al., 2013 [18] Retrospective 259 patients with newly diagnosed GBM RV < 5 cm3 and EOR > 70% improved OS and PFS
Woo et al., 2019 [19] Retrospective (multicenter cohort) 147 patients with newly diagnosed GBM MGMT methylation and RV < 3.5 cc improved OS. (EOR was not an independent prognostic factor)
Xing et al., 2018 [20] Retrospective 292 patients with newly diagnosed GBM RV, but not EOR, was associated with survival
Pessina et al., 2016 [21] Retrospective 64 patients with recurrent GBM RV, but not EOR, was associated with OS and PFS in a multivariate analysis
Sales et al., 2019 [22] Retrospective 126 patients with newly diagnosed MGMT-unmethylated GBM RV, but not GTR, improved OS
Esquenazi et al., 2017 [23] Retrospective 86 patients with newly diagnosed GBM GTR and near-total resection improved OS
Kreth et al., 2013 [24] Retrospective 345 patients with newly diagnosed GBM GTR improved OS; patients who received STR did not show a better OS than those who received biopsy only
Shah et al., 2020 [25] Retrospective 69 patients with non-eloquent GBM Supramaximal resection improved OS and PFS compared to matched controls (propensity-matched analysis)

GBM: glioblastoma; EOR: extent of resection; OS: overall survival; GTR: gross total resection. RV: residual tumor volume; PSF: progression-free survival; MGMT: O-6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase; STR: subtotal resection.
