title: Early vs. delayed radiotherapy in a small cohort of patients with supratentorial low grade glioma.
abstract: In a cohort of 25 patients with supratentorial low grade glioma, the timing of radiotherapy made no significance difference for 10 year survival. Patients who received early radiotherapy had a 55% 10 year survival and those receiving delayed radiotherapy had a 53% 10 year survival. Radiotherapy was delayed a median of 4.8 years in those receiving delayed radiotherapy.
