Abstract:

Objective   To compare and evaluate the effects of temozolomide and other drugs in the high-grade gliomas post-surgical treatment. Methods   In this literature review study, papers on temozolomide for high-grade gliomas were collected and Meta-analysis was performed using Stata software. Results   7 papers were included. Of 438 patients, 227 were in the treatment group and 211 were in the control group. The Meta analysis results showed that M-H pooled OR was 3.70 and 95% CI was 2.37-5.79, while the Mantel-Haenszel test showed that Z was 5.75 and P<0.01, which indicated the effects of temozolomide was significantly better than other drugs. Conclusion   At present, temozolomide can be used as the drug of choice  for high-grade gliomas.
