Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for patients with glioma Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue It is not yet known if standard radiation therapy is more effective when followed by stereotactic radiation therapy

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard radiation therapy with or without stereotactic radiation therapy in treating patients who have glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the effect of adjuvant conventional radiotherapy with or without fractionated stereotactic boost radiotherapy on survival in patients with high grade glioma II Compare the quality of life of these patients after these therapies

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to WHO disease grade III vs IV center and age under 40 vs 40 and over Patients are randomized to undergo stereotactic radiotherapy or no further treatment after conventional radiotherapy Patients undergo conventional radiotherapy once or twice a day for up to 6 weeks Patients randomized to receive additional treatment receive stereotactically guided conformal boost radiotherapy for 4 days within 4 weeks after completion of conventional radiotherapy Quality of life is assessed before radiotherapy then at follow up visits Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 605 patients will be accrued for this study
