Treatment Options
Following surgery, whether biopsy or complete resection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are usually recommended. Several chemotherapeutic agents have recently been found to be useful in treating brain tumors, particularly temozolomide (Temodar ®). These agents are generally well-tolerated and are leading to improved outcomes, although cure is still elusive.
