Gustavo A. Viani, Professor of Radiation Oncology at Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of Sao Paulo, wrote in a recent tweet:
“Hypo Radiationtherapy shows comparable long-term results to the standard of care for Glioblastoma! Phase 2 89 postsurgery Glioblastoma patients were randomized to conventional radiotherapy (CRT) or hypofractionated accelerated RT (HART)
– CRT= 60 Gy /30 fr; HART= 60 Gy /20 +TMZ both arms:
Primary endpoints: 5-year OS & PFS
Results
– Median OS 26.5: months in HART group and 22.4 months in CRT group
– No significant difference in 5-year OS rates: 18% in HART group and 3.8% in CRT group
– No significant difference in PFS between HART and CRT groups.”
