This pro - and retrospective multicenter clinical epidemiological study studies the molecular genetic, host-derived and clinical determinants of glioblastoma patients with an overall survival of more than 5 years. The different research focusses are:
- Identification of clinical parameters and patient characteristics / host-related factors in long-term survivors (Focus 1)
- Identification of molecular tumor characteristics in long-term survivors (Focus 2)
- Assessment of therapy-related parameters, including neuro-toxicity (Focus 3)
- Immunological studies (Focus 4)

- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]
- Molecular profiling on FFPE samples [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Profiling for cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) methylation patterns using the Illumina 850k bead array platform
- Molecular profiling on frozen samples [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Samples will be subjected to whole exome sequencing
- Molecular profiling on frozen samples [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Samples will be subjected to messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) sequencing
- Molecular profiling on frozen samples [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Samples will be subjected to miRNA sequencing
- Molecular profiling on frozen samples [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Samples will be subjected to microarray-based expression profiling
- Proteome profiling [ Time Frame: 1 year from last patient in ]Tumor cells will be microdissected from frozen sections and prepared for high-resolution mass spectrometry
