Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by early relapse and mortality. Treatment resistance could be a characteristic exhibited by pro-genitor neoplastic cells that reside in the subventricular zone (SVZ). This retrospective study was conducted to assess the correlation of SVZ doses and survival in patients with GBM.
