Comparative evaluation of radiochemotherapy with temozolomide versus standard-of-care postoperative radiation alone in patients with WHO grade III astrocytic tumors.

Outcome after radiochemotherapy (RCHT) with temozolomide (TMZ) versus radiotherapy (RT) for WHO grade III astrocytic tumors was evaluated. No significant difference in overall survival or progression-free survival between both groups was calculated. RCHT seems not to result in an improved outcome. Further randomized studies are needed to support these results.
