Radiotherapy of the Malignant Gliomas

ABSTRACT

The outlook for patients with malignant gliomas of the brain remains rather poor. However, after many experience of decades, the data indicate that some improvements seemed to have occurred with following adjuvant treatments after surgery; 1) High dose post-operative radiation therapy 6000-7000 rad/7-8 week. 2) High dose irradiation with BCNU combined therapy(ECOG). 3) Multiple daily fractionated radiotherapy combined with or without misonidazole. 4) Intracranial implant or intraoperative electron therapy.
