Abstract
Prognoses for patients with solid brain tumors are based on a variety of patient characteristics and on the histological type and grade of the tumor; however, there are well-recognized subpopulations of patients with particular types and grades of tumors for which this patient and histologic information unreliably predicts prognosis. In an effort to improve brain tumor prognostic accuracy, especially in these difficult cases, recent intensive investigation has been devoted to identifying molecular markers of prognosis in brain tumors. The usefulness of five widely-studied potential prognostic markers (MIB-1, telomerase, p53/EGFR, BCL-2) is discussed, based on current evidence in the literature.
