Abstract

These outcomes agree with the literature in terms of optimal surgery and the use of HFRT as a standard treatment for elderly GBM patients. Our study emphasizes the potential benefit of using temozolomide with radiotherapy in a real-life cohort of elderly GBM patients, irrespective of their MGMT status.
