Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known whether radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with low-grade glioma

PURPOSE Phase IIIII trial to evaluate observation and to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without combination chemotherapy in treating patients with low-grade glioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Identify the overall survival of low-risk adult patients with supratentorial low-grade glioma who are observed postoperatively
Compare the overall survival of high-risk adult patients with supratentorial low-grade glioma who receive postoperative external beam radiotherapy with or without procarbazine lomustine and vincristine PCV chemotherapy
Compare the toxic effects of postoperative radiotherapy with or without PCV chemotherapy in patients with unfavorable low-grade glioma

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to tumor subtype astrocytoma mixed-astro dominant or equal astrooligo mix vs oligodendroglioma mixed-oligo dominant age younger than 40 vs at least 40 Karnofsky performance status 60-80 vs 90-100 and contrast enhancement on preoperative scan present vs absent Patients with low-risk disease younger than 40 years old whose tumors have been surgically removed are assigned to arm I Patients with high-risk disease at least 40 years old or who have had incomplete tumor removal are randomized to arm II or III

Arm I low-risk patients Patients are observed Patients may receive treatment if tumor recurs
Arm II high-risk patients Patients receive daily external beam radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks
Arm III high-risk patients Patients receive radiotherapy as in arm II followed by chemotherapy 1 month later Chemotherapy consists of oral lomustine on day 1 vincristine IV on days 8 and 29 and oral procarbazine on days 8-21 Each course of chemotherapy lasts 8 weeks Patients may receive up to 6 courses of chemotherapy

Patients are followed every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 252 patients will be accrued within 525 years
