摘要
Improved techniques of radiotherapy have led to marked improvement inthe results of radiotherapy for certain brain tumors, such asmedulloblastoma and pineal germinoma, but results for malignantastrocytoma, the most common brain tumor, have been modest. This articlereviews results of radiotherapy for brain tumors in adult patients over thelast decade and comments on the new approaches being studied. Copyright © 1994 American Cancer Society
