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
Randomized Trial of Radiation Therapy Plus Procarbazine, Lomustine, and Vincristine Chemotherapy for Supratentorial Adult Low-Grade Glioma: Initial Results of RTOG 9802
Edward G. Shaw,Meihua Wang,Stephen W. Coons,David Brachman,Jan C. Buckner,Keith J. Stelzer,Geoffrey R. Barger,Paul D. Brown,Mark R. Gilbert,Minesh P. Mehta +9 more
TL;DR: PFS but not OS was improved for adult patients with LGG receiving RT + PCV versus RT alone, suggesting a delayed benefit for chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence following neurosurgeon-determined gross-total resection of adult supratentorial low-grade glioma: results of a prospective clinical trial: Clinical article
Edward G. Shaw,B. Berkey,Stephen W. Coons,Dennis E. Bullard,David Brachman,Jan C. Buckner,Keith J. Stelzer,Geoffrey R. Barger,Paul D. Brown,Mark R. Gilbert,Minesh P. Mehta +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that young adult patients with low-grade glioma who undergo a neurosurgeon-determined GTR have a > 50% risk of tumor progression 5-years postoperatively, warranting close follow-up and consideration for adjuvant treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial and Personal Medical History of Cancer and Nervous System Conditions among Adults with Glioma and Controls
Margaret Wrensch,Marion M. Lee,Rei Miike,Beth Newman,Geoffrey R. Barger,Richard L. Davis,John K. Wiencke,John Neuhaus +7 more
TL;DR: Variation in exposure to or biologic response to common viral infections might play a greater role in the etiology of adult glioma than family history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced Immunoglobulin E and Allergy among Adults with Glioma Compared with Controls
Joseph L. Wiemels,John K. Wiencke,Joseph S. Patoka,Michelle Moghadassi,Terri Chew,Alex McMillan,Rei Miike,Geoffrey R. Barger,Margaret Wrensch +8 more
TL;DR: The results corroborate and strengthen the findings of an inverse association between allergic reactions and glioma by showing a relationship with a biomarker for allergy and cancer for the first time.
