Patterns of Care for Adults With Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma
JAMA 293:557-564,615, Chang,S.M.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Reliance on magnetic resonance imaging, surgery, and radiation is generally accepted; however, relatively infrequent chemotherapy use may conflict with published literature, and frequent use of prophylactic antiepileptic medications contradicts established practice guidelines. Other practice patterns involving surgical adjuncts, prophylactic heparin, and antidepressants require further investigation to clarify appropriateness. Establishing further clinical guidelines may help reduce variability in practice patterns.
