Description
Jessica Rossi and co-authors weigh a long debate in brain cancer care in a 2024 review. The cancer is glioblastoma, a fast and deadly brain tumor. Some patients first show the disease through seizures. Doctors have long asked if that first sign hints at a longer life or not.
The team searched five databases through the end of 2023 and pooled the results. Fifteen studies went into the review and eleven into the pooled math. On the whole, patients with seizures at the start lived a bit longer. But in the subgroup with the most common tumor gene type, that edge went away. Most past studies were backward looks with mixed tumors and care. The authors call for fresh studies on large, alike groups before the sign is used to guide care.
