Abstract We aimed to describe the characteristics, patterns of care and predictive geriatric factors of elderly patients with IDH-mutant (IDHm) high-grade gliomas (HGG) included in the French POLA network, dedicated to HGG (including 68% of IDHm HGG). For IDHm HGG patients over the age of 70 years, geriatric features were collected: G8 score...

Background: Describe the characteristics, patterns of care, and predictive geriatric factors of elderly patients with IDHm high-grade glioma (HGG) included in the French POLA network. Material and Methods: The characteristics of elderly (≥70 years) patients IDHm HGG were compared to those of younger patients IDHm HGG (<70 years) and of elderly...
