Standard 6-week chemoradiation for elderly patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is frequent in elderly patients, but their frailty provokes debate regarding optimal treatment in general, and the standard 6-week chemoradiation (CRT) in particular, although this is the mainstay for younger patients. All patients with newly diagnosed GBM and age ≥ 70 who were referred to our institution for 6-week CRT were reviewed from 2004 to 2018. MGMT status was not available for treatment decision at that time.
