Core Tip Gliomas show marked biological heterogeneity, necessitating accessible prognostic biomarkers, especially in resource-limited settings. This prospective study demonstrates that nestin overexpression is significantly associated with higher tumour grade and inferior overall survival in both low- and high-grade gliomas. High-grade tumours showed markedly increased nestin expression and substantially shorter survival compared to low-grade counterparts. Patients with high nestin expression experienced poorer outcomes, while the combined analysis revealed the worst prognosis in high-grade gliomas with high nestin levels. These findings highlight nestin as a practical supplementary prognostic marker that may aid risk stratification where advanced molecular testing is unavailable.
