What on earth?!

Biopsy's have much lower likelihood of death than a full resection.

Instead…

an overwhelming consistency of the evidence (including three class 2 studies) supports the superiority of GTR over STR and biopsy. We therefore suggest, based on three class II studies and many consistent class 3 studies, that GTR probably increases the likelihood of 1-year survival compared with STR by about 61% and increases the likelihood of 2-year survival by about 19%.

GTR: gross total resection
STR: subtotal resection
Biopsy: tissue sample from the tumor

I will note that GBM patients with biopsies only lived longer than the ECA patients. This data was presented at the May 10 NYAS event on one of the slides. I have a copy of that slide and can post it if anyone wants to see it when I have a chance (tomorrow) to search for it.
