Validation of the prognostic Heidelberg re-irradiation score in an independent mono-institutional patient cohort

Re-irradiation has been shown to be a valid option with proven efficacy for recurrent high-grade glioma patients. Overall, up to now it is unclear which patients might be optimal candidates for a second course of irradiation. A recently reported prognostic score developed by Combs et al. may guide t...
