Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not
yet known whether giving procarbazine alone or with isotretinoin is more effective for
recurrent primary malignant glioma.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of procarbazine alone or
with isotretinoin in treating patients with recurrent primary malignant gliomas.
