Summary

This study followed 272 adults with brain tumors who received Gliadel wafers (chemotherapy implants) as part of their normal treatment. Researchers tracked how long patients lived, how long until the tumor came back, and any serious side effects. The goal was to see how well the treatment works outside of strict clinical trials.
