Abstract
High-grade glioma patients receiving concomitant chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide 75mg/m(2) during six to seven weeks or dose-dense temozolomide regimens especially in combination with chronic use of corticosteroids have a high risk for developing Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia. In this review, we define risk groups and propose a guideline for prophylaxis using risk stratification.Entities:
