Group A consisted of 24 patients and group B of 27 patients. The differences in the background of the two groups were not statistically significant. Survival curves of both groups were shown by the Kaplan-Meier method. The postoperative survival rate at 1 year and 2 years were 70% and 30%, respectively, equal in both groups, and the differences between groups A and B were not statistically significant by the Cox-Mantel test. The side effects by group B therapy were most prominent in the bone marrow, and severe leukopenia occurred. However, group A therapy suppressed leukopenia after 2 months. Immunological parameters, such as purified protein derivative skin reaction test did not change, but streptococcal Su-polysaccharide skin reaction test became positive after group A therapy., Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 25(10), pp.832-836; 1985}, pages = {832--836}, title = {悪性グリオーマに対する術後放射線化学免疫療法 : 51例3年間の randomized controlled study}, volume = {25}, year = {1985} }
