Abstract
Twenty-one patients with high-grade gliomas were enrolled in a prospective trial of radiotherapy after hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). Radiotherapy was administered in daily 2-Gy fractions up to a total dose of 60 Gy, and each fraction was delivered immediately after HBO. The current study indicated that radiotherapy immediately after HBO with chemotherapy was feasible for high-grade gliomas.
