Treatments that may be studied include:
- Radiation twice daily
- Hyperthermia, in which a tumor is heated to increase the effect of Radiation
- Drugs injected into the artery leading to the brain or directly into the brain
- High-dose Chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplant
- Biological Therapy, which is a Treatment to improve the body's immune system to fight the cancer
- Molecular Chemotherapy, or anticancer Drugs based on newly discovered signaling pathways in Brain Tumor Cells
- Gene Therapy and Viral Therapy, or the use of Viruses or Vectors (carriers) to deliver Cancer-killing genes or agents to disease sites
