1. This study aims to evaluate survival outcomes, quality of life, and activities of daily living in patients with high-grade gliomas treated with conformal radiation therapy followed by a boost with Cyberknife radiosurgery.
2. Patients with confirmed high-grade gliomas and good performance status will receive maximal safe resection followed by intensity-modulated radiation therapy and a Cyberknife boost to the tumor area.
3. The primary objectives are to assess progression-free survival, overall survival, quality of life scores, and activities of daily living after higher radiation doses.

*Apollo Speciality Hospital, ChennaiTitle: Prospective assessment of activities of daily living, quality of life and survival function in good performance status high grade gliomastreated by conformal radiation therapy followed by boost with Cyberknife
2. Why this study
-All dose escalation studies were done in pre-TMZ era
-Role of dose escalation with better imaging, lesser margin and TMZ needs to be evaluated.
-CyberKnife will provide lesser margin & higher dose to contrast enhancing mass after conformal radiation therapy
-Higher dose may improve survival without additional toxicity
4.

Title: Prospective assessment of ADL, QOL & survival function in good performance status HGGs treated by 3DCRT followed by boost with CK
10. Patient required: 25 patientsDuration of the study: Accrual in twelve months and follow up for 3 years. Statistical analysis: Survival function improvement if any after higher radiation dose will be evaluated one year after accrual of 25 patients or at 3 year after initiation of the study. Neurological function and QOL will also be evaluated.Totalduration of hospital visit in days with respect to overall survival will be analyzed. Discontinuation of study: Study will be discontinued if 1) poor patient accrual (<10 patients in 2 years), 2) High incidence of acute toxicity (>50% patient requiring admission related to radiation induced events), 3) high mortality rate ( first 5 patient assessment, if median survival <6 months) Title: Prospective assessment of ADL, QOL & survival function in good performance status HGGs treated by 3DCRT followed by boost with CK
