PurposeAnaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA) are treated with surgery and radiotherapy (BT) at diagnosis, but they also respond to procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine (PCV), raising the possibility that early chemotherapy will improve survival. Furthermore, better outcomes in AO have been associated with 1 p and 19q allelic loss.Patients and MethodsPatients with AO and AOA were randomly assigned to PCV chemotherapy followed by RT versus postoperative RT alone. The primary end point was overall survival. The status of 1 p and 19q alleles was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization.ResultsTwo hundred eighty-nine eligible patients were randomly assigned to either PCV plus RT (n = 147) or RT alone (n = 142). At progression, 80% of patients randomly assigned to RT had chemotherapy. With 3-year follow-up on most patients, the median survival times were similar (4.9 years after PCV plus RT v 4.7 years after RT alone; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.90; 95% Cl, 0.66 to 1.24; P =.26). Progression-free survival time favored PCV plus RT (2.6 years v 1.7 years for RT alone; HR = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.91; P =.004), but 65% of patients experienced grade 3 or 4 toxicity, and one patient died. Patients with tumors lacking 1p and 19q (46%) compared with tumors not lacking 1 p and 19q had longer median survival times (> 7 v 2.8 years, respectively; P
