Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent and malignant primary central nervous system tumor in adults. The gold-standard management of GBM includes post-operative radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent and secondary temozolomide (TMZ) treatment. The present meta-analysis study examined the efficacy of the early administration of bevacizumab prior to standard RT plus TMZ in managing patients with GBM and unfavorable prognostic factors. Between 1983 and 2020, the present study looked for comparative articles involving standard RT plus TMZ and RT/TMZ combined with bevacizumab treatment in patients with GBM. The primary outcomes involved in this study include progression-free survival and overall survival. The present study suggested that bevacizumab administration plus standard RT/TMZ (BEV group) treatment was associated with increased survival of patients with GBM compared with those treated with standard RT/TMZ (CG/Control group) treatment only.
