    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Context:

    • Malignant cerebral gliomas are aggressive brain tumors.
    • Postoperative radiotherapy is established for gliomas, but data on unoperated cases are limited.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of radio-chemotherapy in inoperable malignant cerebral gliomas.

    Summary:

    • Twenty-eight inoperable glioma patients received dexamethasone, 60 Gy telecobaltotherapy, and BCNU chemotherapy.
    • This treatment resulted in an average survival of 36 weeks with manageable side effects.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via radiological and bioptic examination in most cases.

    Impact:

    • Radio-chemotherapy offers a viable treatment for inoperable gliomas.
    • The treatment prolongs patient survival and enhances quality of life.
