“…Furthermore, during the 1980s, a marked change in approach to the morphological verification of even advanced intracranial processes occurred. Although therapy for intracranial tumours, mainly malignant gliomas, has not changed markedly, better diagnostics with fewer misclassifications may have influenced prognosis in a positive direction (49,50). A clear shift upwards in the RSR curves is seen between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s for both males and females (Fig.…”

“…For CF external beam RT at a total dose of 60 Gy the tumor progression-free interval is short, mainly in patients having glioblastoma histology and:or other poor prognostic factors (1,2). The introduction of image-based conformal methods actually encourages clinicians to be more accurate in dose placement and in acquisition of detailed dose distributions, with an option of dose escalation.…”
