Summary
This study tests a higher dose of radiation given over 3 weeks to adults 65 and older with glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma. Using a special machine called an MR-Linac, doctors take daily MRI scans to adjust the radiation beam precisely to the tumor. The goal is to improve how long patients live without their cancer growing, while keeping side effects manageable.
