title: [Results of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with highly differentiated cerebral astrocytoma after non-radical surgery].
abstract: In the years 1975-1982 49 patients received adjuvant tele gamma 60Co therapy because of highly differentiated cerebral astrocytoma after non-radical surgical intervention. 46 of them obtained the planned dose of 60 Gy in 30 fractions given during 6 weeks. In three patients the treatment has been discontinued because of bad tolerance. 20 patients (40%) survived 5 years. The differences of the probability of survival in separate histologic forms of astrocytomas have been not significant.
