Characteristics and Prognosis of Tumor-Related Epilepsy During Tumor Evolution in Patients With Wild-Type Glioblastoma.

Background And Objectives: Tumor-related epilepsy is a well-known symptom of glioblastoma. However, the particular characteristics of epileptic seizures related to glioblastoma, ()-wild-type is almost unexplored longitudinally during the whole course of the disease. We assessed tumor-related epilepsy and seizure control during tumor evolution and the prognostic significance of tumor-related epilepsy.

Effect of Levetiracetam Use Duration on Overall Survival of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Wild-Type Glioblastoma in Adults: An Observational Study.

Background And Objectives: The association between levetiracetam and survival with isocitrate dehydrogenase () wild-type glioblastomas is controversial. We investigated whether the duration of levetiracetam use during the standard chemoradiation protocol affects overall survival (OS) of patients with wild-type glioblastoma.

Methods: In this observational single-institution cohort study (2010-2018), inclusion criteria were (1) age ≥18 years; (2) newly diagnosed supratentorial tumor; (3) histomolecular diagnosis of wild-type glioblastoma; and (4) standard chemoradiation protocol.
