Combination Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Anaplastic Astrocytoma

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed anaplastic astrocytoma.
