- Several studies suggest that hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) during the first 10 to 12 weeks after surgery affects survival rates for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
- An analysis of 162 adult GBM patients who received temozolomide found that higher glucose levels before and after surgery correlated with decreased overall survival (OS).
- Specifically, preoperative hyperglycemia showed a statistically significant link to poor OS, indicating that managing blood sugar levels may be crucial for improving outcomes after GBM surgery.
