Abstract
Eighteen patients over 60 years old with a histologically proven diagnosis of glioblastoma multiforme were treated by a short radiotherapy course (3000 cGy midline dose by two opposed portals to the whole brain). Results in terms of survival and function appeared to be as good as with the standard course of six to seven weeks as reported in the literature.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
