Despite aggressive extent of resection in GBM, the prevalence of STS patients remains notable at ∼28% and survival beyond 3 years remains limited at ∼18.8%. CDKN2A/B loss and EGFR amplification might correlate with shortened survival after supramaximal or complete CE resection. The impact of nonlocal recurrence remains uncertain among STSs. These findings highlight the need for collaborative studies to advance understanding of the biology of GBM as their behavior differs despite aggressive surgical and medical therapies.
