High-grade gliomas are the most prevalent type of malignant brain tumor in adults. The most prevalent cancers of the primary central nervous system (CNS) in adults are malignant astrocytoma, which includes anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III), Malignant Astrocytoma (IDH mutant) or glioblastoma - IDH wild-type (WHO grade IV), and gliosarcoma (WHO grade IV). They are the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the young adult population and are linked with significant morbidity. Despite extensive study, people with malignant gliomas continue to have a dismal prognosis. The goal of this study is to assess the care and treatment outcomes for people with this condition
