Outcome and prognostic features in adult pineoblastomas: analysis of cases from the SEER database

Abstract

Despite the numerous limitations of the SEER database, this study represents the largest analysis of adult PBL to date. Clinically relevant prognostic factors were younger age of diagnosis and localized disease. The role of surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy remains to be defined. Our data suggest these treatment modalities may not influence overall survival.
