Abstract
Efficacy of radiochemotherapy of malignantly-converted brain gliomas using teniposide was evaluated in a randomized prospective study. Combined use of cytostatics and irradiation appeared safe, tolerable and significantly more effective than radiotherapy alone as assessed by local control of tumor and survival.
