mean dose achieved within the PTV is higher (61.3Gy) compared to patients who have partially or directly relapsed outside the PTV (60.6Gy), although these differences are not statistically significant (p=0.061).
Conclusion: This analysis demonstrates that the margins recommended in the ESTRO-EANO contouring guidelines are sufficient, as most patients relapse within the same PTV volume. However, further studies would be needed to determine whether dose escalation would be feasible in this tumour type to provide the patient with greater local disease control.

Currently, there is no established standard of care for recurrent GBM. Meta-analyses suggest a benefit of combining radiotherapy and chemotherapy 1 ; if the patient is eligible for re-surgery, the literature supports adjuvant therapies 2 , but no evidence clarifies whether re-irradiation after re-surgery provides an additional survival advantage. This study aims to evaluate the role of re-irradiation combined with second-line systemic therapies following re-surgery, assessing its impact on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Material/Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed GBM IDH wild type. Data from 2016 to 2023 were analyzed, during which a multidisciplinary tumor board was established. All patients underwent re-surgery for recurrent GBM, followed by various adjuvant therapies. Re-irradiation was delivered with total doses of 30–36 Gy in 10–20 fractions. Clinical outcomes, including OS and PFS after re-surgery, were assessed.
