Modification and optimization of an established prognostic score after re-irradiation of recurrent glioma
INTRODUCTION For about 30 years, researchers developed prognostic scores and searched for prognostic factors to predict outcomes for cancer patients. The "Combs Prognostic Score" for re-irradiation in recurrent glioma was recently validated and results showed that the score is a significant (p < .001) and reliable predictor for patients undergoing re-irradiation (re-RT). We sought to enhance th...

Background and Purpose: Despite the progress in treatment modalities such as neurosurgery and radiotherapy, almost all patients treated with malignant gliomas develop recurrent tumors and die of their disease. The aim of this study was to determine response, survival and treatment toxicities after reirradiation of relapsing primary malignant brain gliomas. Material and Methods: Twenty patients ...
متن کاملValidation of the prognostic Heidelberg re-irradiation score in an independent mono-institutional patient cohort
PURPOSE Re-irradiation has been shown to be a valid option with proven efficacy for recurrent high-grade glioma patients. Overall, up to now it is unclear which patients might be optimal candidates for a second course of irradiation. A recently reported prognostic score developed by Combs et al. may guide treatment decisions and thus, our mono-institutional cohort served as validation set to te...
متن کاملRe-irradiation alternatives for recurrent high-grade glioma
Despite advances in the fields of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the prognosis for high-grade glioma (HGG) remains unsatisfactory. The majority of HGG patients experience disease recurrence. To date, no standard treatments have been established for recurrent HGG. Repeat surgery and chemotherapy demonstrate moderate efficacy. As recurrent lesions are usually located within the previousl...
