• Mean Ve(2.152 ± 1.857 vs. 1.173 ± 1.408) was significantly higher in anaplastic astrocytoma patients with PFS < 18 months that in those with PFS ≥ 18 months (p = 0.02). • Cox proportional-hazards regression showed that only mean Ve(p = 0.034) was significantly associated with PFS, regardless of IDH mutation status, in anaplastic astrocytoma patients.
