BACKGROUD AND PURPOSE
To evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant [pre-radiotherapy(RT)] temozolomide (TMZ) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients in terms of overall survival(OS) and progression free survival (PFS).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Patients with diagnosed GBM are treated with neoadjuvant( pre RT) TMZ followed by concurrent RT-TMZ and adjuvant TMZ. The Kaplan-Meier method is used to estimate OS the differences between groups.
RESULTS
Twenty five patients are match with inclusion criteria. Age group, Recurvsive partitioning analysis (RPA) class and extent of surgery are found to effect on overall survival but statistically not significant. At end of study, 40 percent patients are alive with 9 months PFS and 11 months OS.
CONCLUSION
The neo-adjuvant TMZ with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ is feasible and safe which is associated with an encouraging favorable long-term survival with acceptable toxicity. |
