Abstract

Objective. To reveal the prognostic significant factors, influencing on selection of radiotherapy strategy for treatment of high-grade gliomas. Material and methods. We treated 475 patients with confirmed high-grade gliomas (grade 3-4) in our Russian Scientific Center of Roentgenoradiology (RSCRR) from 01.01.2005 till 31.12.2012. The grade 3 gliomas were diagnosed at 130 (27,4%) patients, grade 4 gliomas - at 345 (72,6%) patients. The main criteria for development of specific treatment program were pathology report data, functional condition of patients (Karnofsky index) and patient’s age - those factors in the base of RPA model and it modified adapted analog developed in Russian Scientific Center of Roentgenoradiology (RSCRR model). Results. The usage of ordinary fractionation mode was the most effective in the group of patients with I-IV grade levels based on modified RSCRR model, while the usage of moderate fractionation mode (3 Gy) is possible at patients of V grade level. The radiotherapy at patients of V grade level according RSCRR model must be conducted within 4-6 weeks after surgical removal of tumor. The radical total boost dose directly influences on patients’ overall survival according to our investigations. The combined chemoradiation therapy in this group of patients doesn’t improve this effectiveness measure of specific treatment. Conclusion. The more accurate criteria for selection of optimal modes of radiation dose fractionation will be defined taking into account the further development and improvement of methodological aspects in realization of radiotherapy for high-grade gliomas treatment.
