Second-Line Chemotherapy in Recurrent Glioblastoma: A 2-Cohort Study.

Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common malignant primary central nervous system tumor in adults. Standard-of-care therapy includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and temozolomide, but nearly all patients experience disease progression. The purpose of this study was to describe 2 cohorts of patients with recurrent GB submitted to second-line treatment with procarbazine/lomustine/vincristine (PCV) or bevacizumab/irinotecan (BI).
