Management and survival trends for adult patients with malignant gliomas in the setting of multiple primary tumors: a population based analysis.

For newly diagnosed MG, a high proportion does have history of extra-CNS primary tumors. Generally, these patients appear to have worse glioma-related observed survival compare to those with malignant glioma as the only primary or the first of multiple primary tumors. Knowledge regarding epidemiology, clinical factors, and observed survival can help guide clinical management/consultation for this subset of patients.
