The outcomes of multimodality treatment of 227 glioblastoma (grade IV) patients were evaluated in relation to the postoperative chemoradiotherapy (ChRT) regimen. No statistically significant differences were found in groups with conventional ChRT (temozolomide 75 mg/m2 per os 1 hour before the radiation treatment during the whole course of radiotherapy, n=111) and modified ChRT (temozolomide 75 mg/m2 per os 5 days a week 1 hour before the radiation treatment in the first and last two weeks of radiotherapy, n=116), the median overall survival being 16 months and 16 months respectively (P=0,889). The Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that the postoperative ChRT regimen was not a prognostic factor affecting patient survival.
