Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy of the therapeutic alliance of radiotherapy and Semustine (CCNU)chemotherapy with radiotherapy alone after partial resection of high-grade sliomas.Methods Forty-nine cases with partial resection of brain gliomas were randomly divided into two groups.In the control group(sole radiotherapy n=19),patients were only treated with local radiotherapy,with the dose of 40Gy/20f/4W,and then added the amount to 61～64Gy/27～28f/5～6W with low fractionation radiotherapy.In the observation group(therapeutic alliance n=23),patients underwent the above mentioned radiotherapy plus six Courses of adjuvant CCNU chemotherapy.Meanwhile,enhanced GD-MRI was performed to evaluate the changes of glioma volume,the nerve function status was evaluated with Karnofsky scale,and record the survival time.Results Twenty-four weeks after radiotherapy,improvements in glioma size and nerve function status of the observation group were superior than that in the control group(all P＜0.05),meanwhile,the long-term survival rate of observation group war also significantly better than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Radiotherapy combined with CCNU could increase the glioma remission rate after partial resection,improve the life quality of patients.and extend their survival time.
