Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To assess the effect of IMRT using VMAT rapidarc approach, followed by adjuvant temozolomide on survival and quality of life in elderly, poor performance status patients with newly diagnosed HGG.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Radiation: Radiation
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Investigators designed this study with the aim to assess the effect of IMRT using VMAT rapidarc approach, followed by adjuvant temozolomide on survival and quality of life in elderly, poor performance status patients with newly diagnosed HGG. The potential advantage of this approach is deliver a more selective irradiation to tumor's target with reducing the dose to normal brain and to allow the delivery of a higher dose, optimizing the therapeutic window.
