Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for Glioblastoma

Phase 2

• Conditions: Glioblastoma Multiforme

• Registration Number: NCT03212235
• Lead Sponsor: Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo

Brief Summary

Notwithstanding major improvements in treatment modalities, the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma is poor. Hypofractionated radiation therapy as an alternative of the standard 6-week regimen could be an attractive approach as an effort to prevent tumor cell repopulation and reduction the total treatment period promoting patient comfort and convenience.
