  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Glioblastoma multiforme has to date been themost common and lethal brain tumor to whichneither surgical nor radiation therapies have beenapplicable. It has therefore the main target ofchemotherapy in the neurosurgical field.

Statistical evaluation of the effect of chemotherapyon the duration of survival in the postoperativeperiod of 102 cases of glioblastoma multiformeresulted in the following conclusions: 1. Neitherindividual nor combined utilization of chemotherapyand radiotherapy have significant effect on theperiod of postoperative survival where glioblastomais concerned. 2. Even though a significant effectof chemotherapy could not be established statis-tically, it appears certain that it is as clinicallyeffective as radiotherapy which has received highacclaim of late. However, this would not alwaysequal the so-called "additive effect" of those treat-ments hitherto known. 3. Postoperative adjuvanttreatment, including chemotherapy, affects thepostoperative survival period as significantly as dothe factors of localization and histological findingsof the tumor.
