Primary glioblastoma (GB) is a rapidly progressing central nervous system tumor with aggressive biological behavior. Long-term glioblastoma survival, defined as survival beyond 3 years, is a rare phenomenon. Various factors contributing to such prolonged lifespan have been proposed. Aim. This study aimed to compare demographic, clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical and molecular features of primary GB in patients with different survival. Material and Methods. This prospective study included 69 patients, who were treated at A.L. Polenov Neurosurgery institute. The analysis considered clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical (Ki67, P53, INA, EGFR) and genetic (MGMT, VEGF and PDGFRA gene expression; IDH1/2 mutational status, 1p/19q co-deletion) characteristics of the disease. Results. 11 (15.9 %) patients survived beyond 3 years. Prolonged survival was associated with younger patient age (p=0.002), use of more than 6 cycles of temozolomide in the 1<sup>st</sup> line therapy (p=0.016), use of the 2<sup>nd<
