Table 2. Adjuvant treatment for glioblastoma patients by KSNO, NCCN, and EANO guideline.

Guidelines Adjuvant treatment
KSNO 1) For patients age >70 & KPS ≥60: CCRT (hypofractionated or standard) & adjuvant temozolomide
2) For patients age >70 & KPS <60: RT alone (hypofraction) or temozolomide (MGMT methylated patient)
3) For patients age ≤70 & KPS ≥60: CCRT (standard) & adjuvant temozolomide
4) For patients age ≤70 & KPS <60: RT (hypofraction) ± concurrent or adjuvant temozolomide
NCCN 1) For patients of age ≤70 & KPS ≥60, without consideration of the methylation status of MGMT promoter: CCRT & adjuvant temozolomide ± TTF
2) For patients of age ≤70 & KPS <60, without consideration of the methylation status of MGMT promoter: hypofractionated RT ± concurrent or adjuvant temozolomide
3) For patients of age >70, KPS ≥60 & methylated MGMT promoter: hypofractionated RT + concurrent or adjuvant temozolomide
4) For patients of age >70, KPS ≥60 & unmethylated MGMT promoter: CCRT & adjuvant temozolomide ± TTF
5) For patients of age >70 & KPS <60: hypofractionated RT alone
EANO 1) Temozolomide CCRT (54–60 Gy in 1.8–2.0 Gy fractions)
2) For patients aged >65–70 years and MGMT unmethylated tumors: RT (40 Gy in 2.67 Gy fractions)
3) For patients aged >65–70 years and MGMT methylated tumors: temozolomide CCRT or temozolomide
