DOI: 10.1007/s11060-020-03573-x
Abstract: Introduction Tumor-related epilepsy may respond to chemotherapy. In a previously-published multi-centre randomized clinical trial of 562 elderly glioblastoma patients, temozolomide plus short-course radiotherapy conferred a survival benefit over radiotherapy alone. Seizure outcomes were not reported.… read more here.
