摘要
Gliomatosis cerebri （GC） is a diffuse glial tumor that infiltrates the brain extensively. The optimaltherapeutic strategy for this tumor has not yet been established. Radiotherapy, temozolomide and other chemotherapeutic modalities have been used to treat GC.2 Despite aggressive and often multimodal therapeutic intervention, survival rates for adult and pediatric patients with GC are extremely poor. Here we report two cases of GC in which we initially explored a new therapeutic strategy for this disease.
