Infratentorial GBM presents with limited surgical treatment options and a poorer prognosis. Computational studies have shown a strong connection between the array layout and the field distribution within the supratentorial region.[academic.oup.com]
“Prognosis” refers to the probable course and outcome of the disease. Physicians reference one or more clinical studies to obtain their prognosis statistics.[cern-foundation.org]
On the whole, the long term prognosis is better in children than adults. Incidence The incidence of pediatric brain tumors is roughly 3.3 cases per 100,000 children in North America.[pedsoncologyeducation.com]
