Abstract:
Background: The prognosis of patients (pts) with recurrent HGG is poor with a median survival of 3 to 6 months. To date, no second line of treatment is recognized as standard.
Enhanced angiogenesis has been recognized as a marker of HGG. Antiangiogenetic agents combined to irinotecan (I) have shown major antitumor activity in recurrent HGG. Sunitinib
(S) is a selective inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including VEGFR and PDGFR that crosses the blood-brain barrier. We investigated the safety and activity of the combination ..
