Several randomized trials have provided evidence supporting the efficacy of conventional radiation therapy in the management of malignant gliomas. In this paper a review of different radiotherapeutic modalities including non conventional regiments of irradiation, use of radiosensitizers, boron neutron capture therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and brachytherapy is presented.
