Answer:
Again, resection depends on location. However, with gamma-knife and other type surgeries available today, survival rates are tremendously higher. Chemotherapy treatments alone are inreasing long-term survival rates. Do not depend on physician survival rates. They have the ability to not really tell you any more than their textbooks say. I was DX with GBM 4 last october. (Astrocytoma Grade 4) on right rear occipital lobe. Have had debulking operation 4 weeks ago. I am still here, and on Temodar chemo only, After 30 radiation treatments and 48 day on Temodar last November, mine is actually showing very small amount of remission. BUT, it is in remission, however slight. I was initially given 9 to 12 months. Last visit to neurosurgeon yesterday, and he stated to come back in 6 months to see how things are going, that unless I started developing issues, everything was looking excellent.

Answer:
Surgical intervention would depend on the location and size of the tumor and the exact tissue type of the mass. You really need to discuss treatment options with a neurosurgeon and/or neuro-oncologist.
