Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Temporal registration 1) No prior treatment for glioma. 2) Preoperative MRI suggests that the lesion is glioblastoma, and total resection of the enhanced lesion is possible. 3) No systemic metastatic lesions. 4) More than or equal to 50% of tumor must be located in cerebrum or diencephalon. 5) No multicentric lesions, dissemination, nor invasion to optic, olfactory nerve, or pituitary gland. 6) Age must be >= 20 and <= 75 years old. 7) Written informed consent must be provided. Definitive registration 1) Histologically verified glioblastoma based on WHO classification. 2) Planning target volume must be less than one- third of volume of cerebrum and diencephalon. 3) There must be no measurable lesion on MR images obtained within 72 hours after resection. 4) Patients must be registered >= 3 days and <= 20 days after resection. 5) ECOG PS must be 0-2, and 3 due to neurological symptoms caused by tumor. 6) Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, renal, coagulation function.
