Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating young patients with gliomas.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the marginal-failure rate in young patients with low-grade gliomas treated with reduced-field conformal radiotherapy.

Secondary

- Determine the progression-free survival, event-free survival, and overall survival rates of young patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.

- Correlate MIB-1 labeling index with progression-free survival and overall survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo reduced-field conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline or 6 weeks after completion of study treatment and then at 2 and 5 years (closed as of 10/27/2010).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter. ;
