Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for patients with anaplastic astrocytomas.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients with anaplastic astrocytomas.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the disease-free interval and survival in patients with supratentorial malignant brain gliomas randomized to radiotherapy alone vs. radiotherapy plus radiosensitization with mitolactol (DBD) followed by DBD and carmustine.

OUTLINE: Randomized study. Group I: Radiotherapy. External-beam cranial irradiation with megavoltage equipment. Group II: Radiotherapy with Radiosensitization followed by Maintenance Chemotherapy. Radiotherapy as in Group I; with Mitolactol, DBD, NSC-104800; followed by DBD; Carmustine, BCNU, NSC-409962.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 212 patients will be entered over more than 3 years.
