Article Title: | Multicenter phase II study of temozolomide and myeloablative chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma |
Abstract: | Background. Anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA) are chemotherapy-sensitive tumors with prolonged survival after radiochemotherapy. We report a prospective trial using induction temozolomide (TMZ) followed by myeloablative high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem-cell transplant (ASCT) as a potential strategy to defer radiotherapy. Methods. Patients with AO/AOA received 6 cycles of TMZ (200 mg/m2 × 5/28 day). Responding patients were eligible for HDC (thiotepa 250 mg/m2/day © 2017 The Author(s). |
