Abstract
These results indicate that (1) tPA is present in larger quantities in glioblastoma compared to meningioma and normal brain, (2) tPA quantity is not significantly different in the peritumoural tissue adjacent to glioblastoma but is significantly less for meningioma, and (3) tPA is expressed in more heterogenous forms in glioblastoma. This present study therefore suggests that the expression of tPA in a brain tumour may be an additional prognostic factor in terms of its malignant and invasive potential.
