| Objective: To analyze the associated factors of surviving in postoperative patients with intracranial glioma. Methods: Sixty-eight cases of postoperative intracranial glioma were retrospectively joined this study. Including sex, age, nation, pathology, tumor spot, tumor size, resection range. They were divided into two groups according to their treatment methods, a group of radiotherapy (RT) and other groups of combine radiochemotherapy (RCT). Kaplan-Mi ere survival curve and Cox regression model were applied to evaluate the overall survive rate and the prognostic factors respectively. Results: The grade of pathology is the main survival -related prognostic factors (P=0..020). There was no significant difference between RT and RCT. But survival curves of each group showed the following tendency that when pathological diagnosis was grade III, IV the result of group of RCT were better than RT. Conclusion: T he prognosis of postoperative intracranial glioma was closely associated with pathology grading. By the survival curves of each group, the treatment strategy should be selected according to their pathology grades. Postoperative patients with grade I or II do not seem to need chemotherapy while patients with grade III or IV, radiochemotherapy is necessary for prolonging survival time.
