Abstract
In a group of 132 patients with malignant astrocytomas treated between 1971 and 1983, there were 3 patients who had received radiotherapy to the head several years before developing the glioma. The cases are described, and the evidence supporting the view that the gliomas might be radiation-induced is discussed.
