  1. All tumors were histologically confirmed as WHO grade IV gliomas. However, one had focal sarcomatous features, another was initially reviewed as pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with anaplastic features then as an epitheliod GBM upon re-revew, and a third had a PNET-like component. SD = standard deviation, IQR = interquartile range, RT = radiation therapy, TMZ = temozolomide, CCNU = Lomustine
