Chemotherapy for anaplastic oligodendroglioma. National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group.

Abstract

Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are chemosensitive brain cancers. Patients with these tumors respond predictably, durably, and often completely to PCV, and many tolerate a dose-escalated formulation. Cooperative group and randomized trials will be necessary to explore fully the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of aggressive oligodendrogliomas.
