Phase II trial of upfront bevacizumab and temozolomide for unresectable or multifocal glioblastoma.
(Cancer Med, 2013-04)
Patients with unresectable glioblastomas have a poor prognosis, with median survival
of 6-10 months. We conducted a phase II trial of upfront 5-day temozolomide (TMZ)
and bevacizumab (BV) in patients with newly diagnosed ...
