Figure 1. Percent of patients where radiology for evaluation (CT and/or MRI) of surgical radicality has been performed if patient was classified as radically or partially resected, by year of diagnosis. High-and low-grade glioma. Data from the Northern, the Uppsala and the South-eastern regions.

Figure 2. High-grade gliomas 2009–2012: Box-plot illustrating waiting times from surgery to start of oncological treatment by year of diagnosis. The box contains 50% of the waiting times, the line in the box (and the number) is the median and the whiskers contain 80% of the waiting times.

Figure 3. Five year survival by radical surgery, non-radical surgery or biopsy among patients with WHO performance status 0 −3, 1999–2012. High-grade glioma. Data from the Northern, the Uppsala and the South-eastern regions.

Figure 4. Five year survival among high-grade glioma patients by age of diagnosis 1999–2012. Data from the Northern, the Uppsala and the South-eastern regions.
