Further clinical characteristics (BMI, KPS), inflammatory laboratory features (serum c-reactive protein, white blood cell count), tumor morphology (tumor volume, cavernous sinus infiltration, auditory canal invasion, brainstem compression), neuropathological characteristics (WHO grading, CD68 staining), and extent of resection (Simpson grading) were homogeneously distributed among the MIB-1 indices groups. Here, CD68 is linked to neoplasm.
