Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 12-cycle arm
After completion of chemoradiation, the cases will receive 12 cycles of adjuvant Temozolomide (prescribed as 150 to 200 milligram per square meters body surface per day for the first 5 days of every 28 days).
|
Drug: Temozolomide
The patients will initially undergo surgery. Within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, all patients will receive chemoradiation. After completion of chemoradiation, the cases will receive 12 cycles of adjuvant Temozolomide (prescribed as 150 to 200 milligram per square meter body surface per day for the first 5 days of every 28 days). In the control group, the patients will receive 6 cycles of adjuvant Temozolomide (in the same dosage).
