[Combined treatment with neurosurgery-radiotherapy of malignant brain tumors].
It is reported about the results in malignant gliomas, which were operated on and than followed by an irradiation therapy. This group is compared with patients, which have been irradiated exclusively. The improvement rate in the latter was 58%, in the first group 74%. The average survival time was 8.5 months in patients only irradiated, while it was 23 months in the group operated upon and followed by irradiation. Conclusions are drawn from these results.
