Critètes d'éligibilité
  • A diagnostic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (no other scan type allowed) of the brain must be performed postoperatively within 72 hours of resection; the enhancing tumor must have a maximal diameter of 5 cm; the tumor diameter will be the greatest diameter as measured on the contrast-enhanced postoperative MRI and will include residual disease and/or the postoperative surgical cavity as appropriate; for cases where residual disease or postoperative surgical cavity is NOT identifiable (e.g., polar glioblastomas [GBMs] where a polar lobectomy is performed), the patient will be excluded from the trial
  • The GBM tumor must be located in the supratentorial compartment only (any component involving the brain stem or cerebellum is not allowed)
  • Histologically proven diagnosis of glioblastoma (World Health Organization [WHO] grade IV) confirmed by central review
  • Tumor tissue that is determined by central pathology review registration to be of sufficient quantity for analysis of O6-methylguanin-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) status
  • Patients must have at least 1 block of tumor tissue; submission of 2 blocks is strongly encouraged to maximize the chances of eligibility; at least 1 cubic centimeter of tissue composed primarily of tumor must be present
  • Diagnosis must be made by surgical excision, either partial or complete; stereotactic biopsy or cavitron ultrasonic suction aspirator (CUSA) technique are not allowed
  • History/physical examination within 14 days prior to  registration
  • The patient must have recovered from effects of surgery, postoperative infection, and other complications within 14 days prior to registration
  • Documentation of steroid doses within 14 days prior to registration
  • Karnofsky performance status >= 70 within 14 days prior to registration
  • Age >= 18
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,800 cells/mm^3
  • Platelets >= 100,000 cells/mm^3
  • Hemoglobin >= 10.0 g/dl (note: the use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 10.0 g/dl is acceptable)
  • Bilirubin =< 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 3 x ULN
  • CD4 lymphocyte count within 14 days prior to registration
  • Negative serum pregnancy test obtained for females of child-bearing potential within 14 days prior to registration
Critètes d'exclusion
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease-free for a minimum of 3 years; (for example, carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix are all permissible)
  • Recurrent or multifocal malignant gliomas
  • Any site of distant disease (for example, drop metastases from the GBM tumor site)
  • Prior chemotherapy or radiosensitizers for cancers of the head and neck region; note that prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowable (except temozolomide)
  • Prior use of Gliadel wafers or any other intratumoral or intracavitary treatment are not permitted
  • Prior radiotherapy to the head or neck (except for T1 glottic cancer), resulting in overlap of radiation fields
  • Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
  • Unstable angina
  • Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
  • Evidence of recent myocardial infarction or ischemia by the findings of S-T elevations of >= 2 mm using the analysis of an electrocardiogram (EKG)
  • New York Heart Association grade II or greater congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within 12 months prior to registration
  • Serious and inadequately controlled arrhythmia
  • Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture or history of abdominal fistula, intra-abdominal abscess requiring major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to registration, with the exception of the craniotomy for surgical resection
  • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics
  • Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects; note, however, that laboratory tests for coagulation parameters are not required for entry into this protocol
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy
  • Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition; note, however, that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing is not required for entry into this protocol
  • Any other severe immunocompromised condition
  • Active connective tissue disorders, such as lupus or scleroderma, that in the opinion of the treating physician may put the patient at high risk for radiation toxicity
  • End-stage renal disease (ie, on dialysis or dialysis has been recommended)
  • Any other major medical illnesses or psychiatric treatments that in the investigator's opinion will prevent administration or completion of protocol therapy
  • Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception
  • Patents treated on any other therapeutic clinical protocols within 30 days prior to registration
  • Inability to undergo MRI (e.g., due to safety reasons, such as presence of a pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia)
