Brief Title: Radiation Therapy in Treating Young Patients With Gliomas
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Conformal Radiotherapy In Patients With Low-Grade Gliomas
Study ID: NCT00238264
Brief 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.
Detailed 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.
