Abstract

This presentation will review recent data on the treatment of high grade gliomas. It deals primarily with results of radiotherapy even though several of the clinical trials to be considered also included chemotherapy. Present emphasis will be on, but not limited to, the larger prospective randomized trials conducted by various cooperative clinical groups in the United States, the United Kingdom and on the continent.
