Abstract
These recommendations apply to adult patients (18years of age and above) with progressive/recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (pGBM) after first line combined multimodality treatment. Can re-irradiation (by using conventional radiotherapy, fractionated radiosurgery, or single fraction radiosurgery) be used in patients with pGBM after the first adjuvant combined multimodality treatment with radiation and chemotherapy? Level III: When the target tumor is amenable for additional radiation, re-irradiation is recommended as it provides improved local tumor control, as measured by best imaging response. Such re-irradiation can take the form of conventional fractionation radiotherapy, fractionated radiosurgery, or single fraction radiosurgery. Re-Irradiation is recommended in order to maintain or improve a patient's neurological status and quality of life prior to any further tumor progression.
