This systematic review examined radiotherapy protocols for newly diagnosed adult high grade gliomas (HGG) in the Asia Pacific region. It found that treatment protocols largely align with EANO and NCCN guidelines, though access to these treatments varies by country. The study highlights the need for a national patient database to better understand real-world application and barriers to access.
Key findings
- Radiotherapy protocols for HGG in the Asia Pacific region closely follow EANO and NCCN guidelines.
- There is variability in the application of these protocols across different income-level countries.
- Identified barriers to radiotherapy access need to be addressed for improved patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Understanding the adherence to established guidelines and the barriers to treatment access is crucial for improving patient outcomes in high grade gliomas. This knowledge can inform policy and resource allocation in the region.
