[Results of non-operative treatment of primary brain tumors using teleradiotherapy and chemotherapy].
In the years 1979-1984 25 patients with inoperable primary brain tumours were treated. The clinical diagnosis in all cases was glioma, histological examinations were not done. The patients received teleradiotherapy (DG 6000 rads) and simultaneously combined chemotherapy by the Hildebrand schedule (methotrexate, vincristine, CCNU, dexamethasone). In one case severe toxicity was observed. The median survival time was 41 weeks and 10 patients survived over one year.
