Going Past the Data for Temozolomide
The benefit of six cycles of adjuvant temozolomide was documented in a

diagnosed glioblastoma. We comment on the differences on length of adjuvant
therapy in both clinical practice and national studies (e.g. RTOG 0825), usually
doubling the length than in the EORTC/NCIC study, and relate to historic adjuvant
trials for solid tumors
