Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Chemotherapy uses
different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining
radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy and
carmustine in treating patients who have supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme.
