Brief Summary: RATIONALE Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells External-beam radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Combining internal radiation with external-beam radiation therapy may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining internal radiation therapy with external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients who have undergone surgery for glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of brachytherapy administered via GliaSite RTS applicator followed by external beam radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
Determine the acute and chronic toxicity of brachytherapy administered via GliaSite RTS in these patients
Determine the survival rate of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of brachytherapy

Patients undergo craniotomy for histologic confirmation of glioblastoma multiforme surgical resection and placement of a GliaSite RTS applicator that includes Iotrex

Beginning 3-21 days after surgery patients undergo brachytherapy via the GliaSite RTS applicator Within 30 days of brachytherapy no more than 60 days after resection patients undergo external beam radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 5-10 patients receive escalating doses of brachytherapy until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 5 or 3 of 10 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Patients are followed at 21-35 days every 2 months for 1 year and then for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 15-100 patients will be accrued for this study
