Official Title: A Phase II Trial Of Pre-Irradiation And Concurrent Temozolomide In Patients With Newly Diagnosed Anaplastic Oligodendrogliomas And Mixed Anaplastic Oligoastrocytomas
Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide with radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendrogliomas or mixed anaplastic oligoastrocytomas.
