The Prognostic Value of NANO Scale Assessment in IDH-Wild-Type Glioblastoma Patients
BackgroundIDH-wild-type glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent brain-derived malignancy. Despite intense research efforts, it is still associated with a very poor prognosis. Several parameters were identified as prognostic, including general physical performance. In neuro-oncology (NO), special emp...
