Treatment of High-grade Gliomas Using Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy -a Phase I Clinical Trial

Summary

Postoperative conventional radiation at 60 Gy/30f is currently still considered the standard radiotherapy mode for high-grade gliomas; however, the efficacy is still unsatisfactory. Studies in recent years have shown that hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost-intensity modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) has certain survival benefits over other fractionation methods; but, the best hypofractionation mode and its efficacy have not been confirmed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hypofractionated SIB-IMRT with stepwise escalating of doses combined with temozolomide (TMZ) for the treatment of malignant gliomas.
