BZ-SRS With Bevacizumab
All patients received Border Zone Stereotactic Radiosurgery (BZ-SRS) and additionally received bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) one day before and then at day 14 followed by 10 mg/kg/day every 14 days until disease progression. One to 14 days before BZ- SRS procedure, patients at centers with MRS experience will undergo standard brain MRI /MRS. Patients will have MRS Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)prior to BZ-SRS. Border Zone Stereotactic Radiosurgery (BZ-SRS): The 'border zone' of the tumor will be targeted by SRS in a single session.

Timeframe: At baseline (Week 0) prior to treatment administration

Population: Patients with recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme who underwent treatment of border Zone Stereotactic Radiosurgery (BZ-SRS) with bevacizumab (10 mg/kg).

The Karnofsky Performance Scale Index allows patients to be classified as to their functional impairment. This can be used to compare effectiveness of different therapies and to assess the prognosis in individual patients. Score range from 0 to 100; the lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses. A score of 100 would indicate 'Normal no complaints; no evidence of disease.' A score of 50 indicates 'Requires considerable assistance and frequent medical care.' A score of 0-10 would indicate 'Moribund; fatal processes progressing rapidly' and 'Death'.

It evaluates the ability of feeding, moving from wheelchair to bed and returning, doing personal toilet, getting on and off toilet,bathing self, walking on level surface, ascending and descending stairs, dressing, controlling bowels and controlling bladder. Scoring ranged from 0 (completely dependent) to 20 (completely independent) for this assessment. A maximal score of 20 indicating that a patient is fully independent in physical functioning, and a lowest score of 0 representing a totally dependent bed-ridden state.

The FACT-G is a patient rated, 27-item compilation of general questions divided into 4 primary Quality of Life (QOL) sub-scales: physical well-being (PWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), social/family well-being (SWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), emotional well-being (EWB; 6-items, score range 0-24), and functional well-being (FWB; 7-items, score range 0-28). This tool represents the generic core questionnaire that are utilized in combination with cancer site-specific questionnaires, (FBrain, in this study) Overall score and four subscale scores with ranges and distributions that are sample-specific can be calculated.FACT-G is scored by summing the individual scale scores; higher scores indicate better quality of life. FACT-G uses 5-point rating scale ranging from (0) = Not at all; (1) = A little bit; (2) = Somewhat; (3) = Quite a bit; to (4) = Very much.The FACT-G total score is the sum of the four subscale scores (if least 80% completed) and has a possible range of 0-108 points.

The FACT-BrSI subscale, brain tumor specific version (2007), is a 15-item, patient completed, questionnaire.This brain subscale is used along with the core (general) questionnaire (FACT-G) that includes 27 items. Patients rate all items using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 0 "not at all" to 4 "very much." Overall, higher ratings suggest higher quality of life (QOL). The FACT BrSI has a range of 0-60, where a higher score indicates less symptomatology.
