Surgery Followed by Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme

NCT00053183 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2009-02-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. External-beam radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Combining internal radiation with external-beam radiation therapy may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining internal radiation therapy with external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients who have undergone surgery for glioblastoma multiforme.
