EGFR amplification is a real independent prognostic impact factor between young adults and adults over 45yo with wild-type glioblastoma?

Once again the main difference in terms of OS in GBM is shown in a EOR and in Age. To our knowledge, ours is the second study (Hoffman et al., J Neurooncol 145: 321-328, 2019) to evaluate the prognostic impact of EGFR CN gain specifically in young adults with IDH-WT GBM and in the era of modern radiation and Temozolomide, but is the first one to compares this impact with a population of adults over 45, and correlates this date with clinical onset, dimension and localization of disease between this groups. We suggest other centers to evaluate this important finding with a larger number of patients and we are inclined to accept collaborations to increase the power of this study.
