Summary

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of brain tumour, with around 2,000 people diagnosed each year in the UK. In 2021, the diagnostic classification changed to include genetic and molecular features alongside histological criteria. This dataset of provides up-to-date information about >1850 pathologically confirmed glioblastoma patients diagnosed in a single year (2021) according to the WHO 2021 classification from 52 centres using a retrospective international cohort study design.

Documentation

The Histo-Mol GBM Collaborative (2021) dataset is an international retrospective multi-centre cohort study of pathologically confirmed glioblastoma patients diagnosed during a 1-year time-period.

This dataset contains data from the majority of United Kingdom Neuro-oncology centres (44/49), every neuro-oncology centre in New Zealand (5/5) and the Republic of Ireland (2/2), plus 1 centre from Australia.

This dataset provides a national level overview of pathologically confirmed glioblastoma patients diagnosed between 01/01/2021 and 31/12/2021 with granular individual patient data comprising demographics, presenting symptoms, tumour characteristics, full treatment characteristics, post-treatment surveillance details, recurrence information including treatment at all recurrences, and survival data.
