Table 7 Expected survival time (SD) after tumor growth then resection (days). Expected survival time after tumor growth then resection: Assume tumor initial size is 1 mL. If resection is immediately performed, the average survival is 268 days with SD 29 days. Letting it grow to 50 mL, then resection is performed with different percentages, the average survival is from 330 days to 393 days; the standard deviations vary according to the correlation coefficient ρ between the growth time T1 and survival time T2.
From: Stochastic growth pattern of untreated human glioblastomas predicts the survival time for patients
