This trial compared radiotherapy plus supportive care with supportive care alone in patients with glioblastoma who were 70 years of age or older. As compared with supportive care alone, radiotherapy improved survival by about 3 months and did not impair quality of life or cognition. The trial also showed that, despite some challenges, elderly patients can participate in a randomized, controlled clinical trial.
