Despite the advent of new technologies available for the imaging of brain tumors and the evolution of methods to deliver more focused radiation therapy, most malignant gliomas recur locally. Therapies aimed at increasing local control of gliomas will set the stage for improved survival in a disease with a dismal overall prognosis. This review focuses on several radiotherapeutic approaches to dose escalation that may help improve local control.
尽管用于脑肿瘤成像的新技术不断涌现，且更精准的放射治疗方法也在不断发展，但大多数恶性胶质瘤仍会在局部复发。旨在提高胶质瘤局部控制率的治疗方法将为改善这种总体预后不佳疾病的生存率奠定基础。本综述重点关注几种可能有助于提高局部控制率的剂量递增放射治疗方法。
