Abstract: Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of teniposide (VM-26) and cisplatin (DDP) in the treatment of recurrent malignant glioma. Methods A total of 30 patients were included for this study. The patients were diagnosed with recurrent glioma between 2012/05/01 and 2014/4/30. All patients experience classical STUPP project which contains surgery resection and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The diagnoses were confirmed by the clinical symptoms, contrast-enhanced MRI and the consensus on histology from at least two neuropathologists at the Department of Oncology in Beijing Shijitan Hospital. After the treatment, the image based progression and the adverse events rates were applied to evaluate the results. Results The efficiency for grade Ⅲ glioma patients was 9.1%. The survival rate was 43 months. At the meanwhile, the efficiency for grade Ⅳ was 5.3% and the survival rate was 16 months. The mean overall survival rate of 30 high-grade glioma patients was 18 months. Conclusion The VM-26 and DDP are potential therapeutic agents to treat patients with high-grade malignant recurrent glioma. And VM-26 and DDP have an acceptable safety profile and its adverse events are mostly mild.
