简要总结
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating young patients with gliomas.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the marginal-failure rate in young patients with low-grade gliomas treated with reduced-field conformal radiotherapy.
Secondary
- Determine the progression-free survival, event-free survival, and overall survival rates of young patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
- Correlate MIB-1 labeling index with progression-free survival and overall survival of these patients.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment (radiotherapy)
Patients undergo reduced-field conformal radiation therapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
干预措施: radiation therapy (Radiation)
结局指标
主要结局
Marginal-failure Rate
时间窗: Up to 5 years
Patients who do not recur as well as those with either central or distant recurrence would be treatment successes for this endpoint. Monitoring will be based on a Bayesian rule, with binomial likelihood and a Beta on the parameter p, the proportion of failures that are marginal failures.
次要结局
- Quality of Life (QOL)(Up to 5 years)
- Correlation MIB-1 Labeling Index With PFS(Up to 10 years)
- Overall Survival Probability(3 years)
- Progression-free Survival Probability(3 years)
- Event-free Survival Probability(3 years)
- MIB-1 Labeling Index Using Immunohistochemical Techniques With the MIB-1 Antibody According to Established Methods(At baseline)
