Causes of death in glioblastoma: insights from the SEER database.

CONCLUSIONS: CODs not attributed to GB remains a significant subset of all CODs. Many of these, particularly diseases of heart, are frequent comorbidities. Moreover, infection-related CODs after GB diagnosis appear more salient compared to CODs in the general population. Consideration of these CODs, and vigilant treatment aimed at these CODs, may improve overall care for GB patients. PMID: 30816684 [PubMed - in process]
