Advancing Radiotherapy in High-Grade Glioma: Targeted Volume Reduction with Hypofractionated Simultaneous Boost IMRT

Highlight

This randomized clinical trial evaluates a novel radiotherapy approach—modified target delineation guided by multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and white matter tractography combined with moderately hypofractionated simultaneous boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (HSIB-IMRT)—in high-grade glioma (HGG). The study found that this technique significantly reduces clinical target volumes without compromising progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), or increasing recurrence outside irradiated areas. Safety profiles were comparable to standard treatment, underscoring the potential for personalized, volume-sparing radiotherapy to mitigate neurotoxicity in HGG management.
