摘要
Outcome after radiochemotherapy (RCHT) with temozolomide (TMZ) versus radiotherapy (RT) for WHO grade III astrocytic tumors was evaluated. No significant difference in overall survival or progression-free survival between both groups was calculated. RCHT seems not to result in an improved outcome. Further randomized studies are needed to support these results. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
