Abstract
Clinical findings on the unsatisfactory results of radiotherapy of glioblastomas, and on the genesis of cerebral necrosis, are analyzed in the light of modern radiobiologic research. It is concluded that, usually from unjustified fear of exceeding the "tolerance limit", radiotherapy of glioblastomas is underdosed.
