Impact of surgical resection of butterfly glioblastoma on survival: a meta-analysis based on comparative studies

Abstract Butterfly glioblastoma (bGBM) is a rare brain tumor that invades both hemispheres by crossing the corpus callosum. bGBM is associated with a dismal prognosis with a median survival time of a few months. Surgical resection is a rare treatment option due to the unfavorable location and assume...
