Patient-reported data collected per EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline and Months 3, 6, 9, and 12. The 30-question survey covered 5 daily-functioning domains (Physical, Role, Social, Emotional, and Cognitive).
The updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Central Nervous System Cancers now include alternating electric field therapy (Optune) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) following maximal safe resection and standard brain radiation therapy with concurrent TMZ as Category 1 recommended treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma (GBM) and good performance status.* There is uniform NCCN consensus for this recommendation based on high-level evidence (Category 1).
