Research progress on radiotherapy technology and dose fraction scheme for advanced gliomas

Glioma is the most common central malignant tumor. High-grade glioma (HGG) has high malignancy and a short median survival. Complete surgical resection and comprehensive treatment with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the recommended treatment for HGGs at present in clinic. Postoperative radiotherapy can reduce the local recurrence rate and prolong the survival time of patients. In recent years, researchers have made some progress on different radiotherapy technologies and dose fraction schemes. With the continuous development of medical technology, different groups of people should choose different dose fraction schemes, in order to realize the individualization of treatment schemes, and provide more benefits to patients. At present, the optimal radiotherapy dose, the fraction model, and how to achieve individualized radiotherapy remains unclear. In view of the poor prognosis of this disease, patients should be encouraged to participate in properly conducted experimental studies.
