Abstract

In 81 patients with anaplastic supratentorial gliomas, single versus multiple chemotherapeutic agents were selected for treatment following surgery and during radiotherapy in a prospective randomized study. Time to treatment failure and survival were not significantly enhanced by multiple agent chemotherapy, as administered in this study.
