Clinical Trial: Radiation Therapy With and Without Combination Chemotherapy in Patients With Resected Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: PHASE III STUDY OF ADJUVANT PROCARBAZINE, CCNU AND VINCRISTINE CHEMOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH HIGHLY ANAPLASTIC OLIGODENDROGLIOMA

Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells, and may be an effective treatment for anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Combining combination chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare radiation therapy with and without combination chemotherapy in patients with resected anaplastic oligodendroglioma.
