How do you manage radiotherapy for a glioblastoma when there is a delay in starting systemic therapy?
Temodar can sometimes take 2-3 weeks to arrive after prior approval. Would you start radiotherapy without Temodar or wait for it to arrive and begin concurrently?

It depends on whether we are discussing a post op vs unresectable patient.
It is okay to delay in post op imo up to 4-6 weeks out after a GTR. I would not start within 2 weeks after biopsy, regardless of temodar authorization in an unresectable patient.
