Brief Summary
Patients with 1p/19q-codeleted anaplastic gliomas treated with RT + PCV are at risk of neurocognitive deterioration. Treating these patients with PCV alone (could reduce the risk of neurocognitive deterioration without impairing overall survival.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Survival without neurocognitive deterioration
Survival without neurocognitive deterioration (whatever the cause of deterioration, i.e toxicity or tumor progression) defined as the time from study registration to failure in any of the 6 cognitive domains that will be explored (i.e memory, working memory, language, visuo-spatial ability, cognitive executive functions, behavioral executive functions) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
9 years
Secondary Outcomes (2)
