Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma (GBM) is a severe brain cancer that can lead to toxic side effects during treatment, prompting this study to explore genetic and clinical factors associated with vascular toxicities such as thrombosis and hypertension in patients.
- A total of 591 Non-Hispanic White GBM patients were analyzed, with 62 experiencing thrombosis and 59 hypertension, revealing that hypertensive patients had improved survival rates compared to those without hypertension.
- The study found that genetic factors significantly predicted hypertension better than clinical data alone, while corticosteroid use was identified as a notable risk factor for thrombosis, suggesting a need for further research into these associations in cancer treatments.
