| This shows the results of multivariate analyses for survival using Cox's proportional hazards model. Here again lines of red color showed significant differences and yellows are better signs. History of radiation seems to be the most contributing factor. As I mentioned before, all radiated patients received gamma-knife radiosurgery, and 3 of them had radiation to the lungs. Second contributing factor is the numbers of chemo-hyperthermia sessions. Chemo-hyperthermia more than 30 sessions with accomplish rate of 80% or greater appears to be important. (however numbers were so small that analysis was difficult.) |
