Repeat-surgery at Glioblastoma recurrence, when and why to operate?

Our study depicts that patients eligible for repeat-surgery at GB recurrence are characterized by a KPS > 70% before primary and repeat-surgery, Charlson-comorbidity-index ≤ 3, large tumor size and young age. These well-selected patients survive significantly longer after repeat-surgery without being at a higher complication risk in comparison to patients not operated upon.
