Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs such as tamoxifen may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining radiation therapy with tamoxifen in treating patients who have newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine whether high-dose tamoxifen initiated at the beginning of conventional radiotherapy improves the median survival time of adults with newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme II Determine the feasibility and toxicity of high-dose tamoxifen in these patients III Determine the overall survival with respect to protein kinase C lab correlates in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Beginning within 5 weeks after surgery patients undergo radiotherapy to the brain 5 days a week for 6 weeks Patients receive high-dose oral tamoxifen every 6 hours beginning on day 1 of radiotherapy and continuing in the absence of disease progression Patients are followed every 3 months through year 1 every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 72 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 months
