| Abstract | ||
The prognostic implications for glioma patients are still unknown with varied survival ranges in different forms of glioma. We evaluated approximately all the glioma patients between the year 2015 and 2019. We aim to study the percentage of different types of gliomas in our population. Out of all Glioblastoma were 70(29.2%), Oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma were 50 (20.8%), oligoastrocytoma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma were 25(10.4%) and 35(14.6%) respectively and meningiomas were the least of all (4.2%). Also the glioblastoma presented the least overall survival. Concluding thereby that the frequency of glioblastoma is very high among all the glioma subtypes in our region, also the overall survival was least for glioblastoma. |
