Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment Varies Slightly From Treatment For Initial Tumors In Recurrent Glioblastomas

 Patients with recurrent Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme are increasingly being treated with reirradiation. Reirradiation is a viable Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment option despite the harm to normal brain tissue caused by high dose RT, thanks to technological advancements in radiation procedures, particularly breakthroughs in dose administration and treatment planning systems, which have increased the therapeutic ratio. Using either hypofractionated or conventionally fractionated radiation regimens, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) have been associated with variable median survival periods of 6 to 12 months and neurological toxicity rates of 5% to 20%.


Moreover, reirradiation combined with temozolomide or bevacizumab has been shown to improve survival compared to reirradiation alone. With special attention to target volume delineation and the effects of radiation techniques on survival and the risk of radiation-induced brain necrosis, we present a clinical overview on the current status and advancements of reirradiation in the setting of recurrent or progressive GBM after standard treatment.


Antiangiogenic drugs like bevacizumab and alkylating drugs like temozolomide or lomustine are typical salvage therapy options for patients who get systemic Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Treatment upon recurrence, leading to median survival durations of 6 to 12 months. Lomustine is the suggested second-line chemotherapy in the European Union based on a large randomised trial of 437 patients with progressive GBM that showed a similar median survival time of around 9 months for those receiving lomustine plus bevacizumab versus lomustine alone. Bevacizumab has been the standard salvage therapeutic option for patients with recurrent GBM since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2009.
