Chemotherapy Followed by Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Malignant Glioma

Completed · Phase 1

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 radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
