TL;DR: The addition of temozolomide to radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant survival benefit with minimal additional toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide versus radiotherapy alone on survival in glioblastoma in a randomised phase III study: 5-year analysis of the EORTC-NCIC trial
Roger Stupp,Monika E. Hegi,Warren P. Mason,Martin J. van den Bent,Martin J.B. Taphoorn,Robert C. Janzer,Samuel K. Ludwin,Anouk Allgeier,Barbara Fisher,Karl Belanger,Peter Hau,Alba A. Brandes,J.M.M.

Gregory Cairncross,René-Olivier Mirimanoff +23 more
TL;DR: Benefits of adjuvant temozolomide with radiotherapy lasted throughout 5 years of follow-up, and a benefit of combined therapy was recorded in all clinical prognostic subgroups, including patients aged 60-70 years.

TL;DR: In a cohort of patients with grade 2 glioma who were younger than 40 years of age and had undergone subtotal tumor resection or who were 40 yearsof age or older, progression-free survival and overall survival were longer among those who received combination chemotherapy in addition to radiation therapy than amongThose who received radiation therapy alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized trial to assess the efficacy of surgery in addition to radiotherapy in patients with a single cerebral metastasis
Arlan H. Mintz,John R. W. Kestle,Michel P. Rathbone,Laurie E. Gaspar,Herman Hugenholtz,Barbara Fisher,Graeme Duncan,Peter Skingley,Gary Foster,Mark Levine +9 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that the addition of surgical extirpation prior to radiation therapy increased survival, neurologic function, and quality of life compared with radiation alone in patients with a single brain metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: Radiation Therapy Oncology Group Study 93-10
TL;DR: This is the first multicenter trial demonstrating improved survival with the combination of chemotherapy plus RT compared with previous reports of RT alone, and high-dose methotrexate combined with cranial irradiation is an effective therapeutic approach to PCNSL, but neurotoxicity is a delayed risk of this approach.
