Abstract
We describe a case of reirradiation for symptomatic, recurrent, inoperable cerebral astrocytoma grade II. Symptomatic and radiographic response were obtained with no evidence of radiation induced brain injury three years following reirradiation. The factors affecting radiation injury and indications for reirradiation are discussed. Repeat radiotherapy is a useful treatment option in selected patients with recurrent brain tumors.Entities:
