- Abstract
Anaplastic astrocytomas (AA) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), although common primary tumors of the brain in adults, are relatively infrequent in children. Eleven patients with these lesions were treated at our hospital over a period of 20 years. This retrospective study of high-grade gliomas examines numerous factors that could help in the future management of these tumors.
