Abstract
Standard treatment for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) consists of a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. While the optimal dose of radiation therapy has been established, significant variability in volume of tissue irradiated exists. In this article we review the current guidelines, patterns of care, patterns of failure, imaging advances and toxicity related to radiation therapy volumes in the treatment of GBM.
