Question
Hi,Could you please let me know the approximate percentage of chemotherapy treated patients (chemotherapy alone or in combination with surgery/radiotherapy) for High grade gliomas among all treated patients in Sweden or for nordic countries in general?
I have been retired for 6.5 years now. So I'm out of date. But probably most of these patients. But I can not give you an exact percentage no. See above. I think it was you I gave the Swedish cancer registry internet address to recently. If so try that for this too.
