Summary

This study tested a combination treatment for people whose high-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) had come back after initial therapy. It used a specialized form of radiation given alongside the drug bevacizumab, followed by continued bevacizumab treatment. The main goal was to see if this approach could help patients live longer and control the tumor's growth.
