About the trial
The study aims to investigate the prognostic significance of olfactory function in patients with glioblastoma. We are examining olfactory function at various points during therapy and correlating the results with survival data. In addition, neurocognitive tests will be carried out to correlate the results of olfactory function with the patient's cognitive abilities. Investigations into the quality of life and psychological condition of the patients are also performed. In addition to the cohort of glioblastoma patients, there is a control cohort without tumor disease in which the olfactory testing is also carried out in order to have a comparison.
