The aim of this study was to select the most promising astrocytoma patient overall survival prediction variables from five secretory proteins—glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1), osteopontin (OPN), and amphiregulin (AREG)—combining them with routinely used tumor markers to create a Patient Survival Score calculation tool. The gene discussed is MMP2; the disease is astrocytoma (excluding glioblastoma).
