Malignant gliomas are tumors of bad prognosis with a mean survival of 12 months. In the present report 74 patients diagnosed of malignant glioma were studied with the following aims: 1) evaluate how many could receive combined radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (BCNU) treatment following surgery and 2) analyze whether the patients treated presented a survival similar to that described in the literature. ⋯ Most of the patients operated on for malignant glioma may not receive treatment considered as standard, principally due to tumor progression in the first weeks following surgery and the presence of severe post surgical complications.
