  • Title: Photon radiotherapy for the treatment of high-grade gliomas.
    Author: Hwang CS, Marymont MH, Muro K.
    Journal: Expert Rev Anticancer Ther; 2007 Dec; 7(12 Suppl):S37-43. PubMed ID: 18076317.
    Abstract:
    High-grade gliomas are diseases characterized by poor overall survival despite aggressive multimodality therapy. Radiation therapy has been unequivocally established as the mainstay of therapy after surgical intervention, regardless of the extent of surgical resection. Despite theoretical and technological advances in the planning and delivery of radiation therapy, overall survival remains grim. In this review, we outline the evolution of radiation therapy, report the pivotal trials that have shaped this therapy and speculate on the future direction of this field.
