Extent of resection remains a paramount prognostic factor for long-term outcomes for glioblastoma. As such, supramaximal resection or anatomic lobectomy have been offered for non-eloquent glioblastoma in an attempt to improve overall survival. Here, we conduct a propensity-matched analysis of patients with non-eloquent glioblastoma who underwent either lobectomy or gross total resection of lesion to investigate the efficacy of supramaximal resection of glioblastoma.
