A Pilot Study of Side Effects of Cancer Therapies and their Impact on Satisfaction with Life.

abstract：:Temozolomide is an oral cytotoxic agent that has demonstrated its interest in high grade glioma tumors. This drug can be used either concomitantly with radiotherapy or as chemotherapy. The prognosis of relapsing medulloblastoma is poor and treatment is often difficult, especially after radiotherapy. Here, we report th...
