Combining Clinical and Molecular Data to Predict the Benefits of Carmustine Wafers in Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the use of carmustine wafers (CWs) in the management of high-grade gliomas (HGGs). The data from our monoinstitutional series was compared with studies reported in the literature. Special emphasis was placed on the evaluation of side effects and the analysis of extent of resection and molecular profile as risk factors.
