Abstract
In a cohort of 25 patients with supratentorial low grade glioma, the t iming of radiotherapy made no significance difference for 10 year surv ival. Patients who received early radiotherapy had a 55% 10 year survi val and those receiving delayed radiotherapy had a 53% 10 year surviva l. Radiotherapy was delayed a median of 4.8 years in those receiving d elayed radiotherapy.
