Civilian Hospital of Terni, Italy.
We report the case of a patient with a left temporal-parietal glioblastoma
treated with subtotal surgical excision, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with a
single intravenous administration of carboplatin and continuous oral
administration of tamoxifen (40 mg/daily).
Two years after the patient presents a stabilization of clinical and CT
picture.
We discute the possible role of tamoxifen in prolonging the survival of selected
patients with intracranial high-grade glioma.
