Neurological Service Studies & Research Findings - Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
| Strong links have been developed with the Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group (TROG) and more recently with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). |
| Major research studies include: |
| • Low grade glioma study – EORTC/TROG. • Hypofractionated radiotherapy for elderly patients with high grade glioma incorporating functional imaging (under development) – TROG. • Phase II study of temozolmide and caelyx for newly diagnosed glioblstoma mulitforme-Victorian Cooperative Oncology Group (VCOG) • Ciliengitide for subjecs with newly diagnosed glioblastoma mulitforme and methylated MGMT. • Gene promoter – a mulitcentre, open-label, controlled phase III study, testing cilengitide in combination with standard treatment (temozolomide with concomitant radiation therapy, followed by temozolomide maintenance therapy) versus standard treatment along (under development) – EORTC/RMH. |
