Hypofractionated radiotherapy for newly diagnosed elderly glioblastoma patients: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate different hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) regimens for newly diagnosed elderly glioblastoma (GBM) patients.<h4>Methods</h4>We performed a systematic review with network meta-analysis (NMA), including searches on CENTRAL, Medline, EMBASE, CINA...
