  • Note:—HR indicates hazard ratio; STR, subtotal resection.

  • a Age, CEL tumor volume, and tumor location were independently significant in multivariate analysis (overall P < 3.52e–8). Surgical resection is subtotal resection or gross total resection, available for 24 cases in the TCGA test cohort.

  • b P value < .05, indicating the variable is significant.

  • c Tumor location remained significant in Cox analysis performed on the restricted set of intermediate and large tumors.
