Chemotherapy of Diffuse Astrocytoma (WHO grade II) in Adults.
The effectiveness of chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for diffuse astrocytoma (DA) has been largely unknown until recently. However, a randomized controlled study (RTOG 9802) showed that adding of procarbazine, CCNU, and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy to fractionated radiotherapy (FRT) in patients with "high-risk" WHO grade II gliomas, including DA, has significant positive impact on both progression-free survival and overall survival. Effectiveness of temozolomide (TMZ) in cases of low-grade gliomas was also reported, and a randomized phase III trial comparing FRT alone or in combination with TMZ in cases of unresectable DA (JCOG 1303) is currently ongoing.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
