description | <p>High-grade gliomas are central nervous system malignancies which are difficult to treat. Surgery, temozolomide combined with radiotherapy postoperatively and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide have been established as the standard treatment options for high-grade gliomas. Nevertheless, the prognosis of patients with high-grade gliomas remains poor. At present, there is no standard therapy for recurrent or relapsed high-grade gliomas. Temozolomide is still an effective drug for the treatment of recurrent high-grade gliomas. According to the characteristics of patients, there have been many kinds of temozolomide administration and other treatments in combination. Individual therapy were paid more attention, so that the patients with high-grade gliomas recurrence could get greater survival benefit. This paper aims to introduce the progress of temozolomide in the treatment of recurrent high-grade gliomas in recent years.</p><p> </p><p>doi:10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2013.12.012</p> |
