The results of treatment of primary brain tumours
MRÁZKOVÁ, Tereza
The study is aimed to primary brain tumour patient's prognosis. The study is comprised of data processing, basic information summary of the issue, evaluation of overall survival of primary brain cancer patients and results comparison to the literature. The hypothesis says that the results gained at department of oncology are comparable with the literature. Patient's data were assembled from medical history of Oncology ward of České Budějovice hospital. Data collection was aimed of gender, age, tumour localization, histology, WHO staging, way of treatment, date of treatment initiation and current condition. Study included 116 patients with treatment initiation between 2011 - 2015 at the Oncology ward of České Budějovice hospital. Data were processed using Excel and survival rate was assessed by Kaplan - Meier analysis of the statistical program IBM SPSS Statistics. Overall survival was assessed in terms of the way of treatment (a combination of resection and radiation therapy, a combination of resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, palliative treatment), histology (astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma multiforme), gender and age (younger than 50 years old, older than 50 years). Median overall survival of whole group under treatment was 12 months. In terms of overall survival analysis based on the histological results and treatment (combinations of resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy) was at variance with literature. The acquired results should serve to further processing by students and as feedback for the oncology ward, because it assesses success of treatment on department.
