 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 21 Progress in radiotherapy of brain gliomas [Abstract] Because invasive glioma strong, with no obvious boundaries of brain tissue, complete surgical resection is difficult, easy to relapse, a high mortality rate. Efficacy is still not satisfactory at present, postoperative radiotherapy is very important. In this paper, the current high and low-grade glioma radiotherapy for a comprehensive overview of the new progress. [Keywords:] radiation therapy; brain glioma [Abstract] It is difficult to resect completely brain of glioma with surgery because of the characteristic of strong invasion and no obvious verge with the brain tissue, and result in easily recurrent, high mortality  Until now, there are still low efficacy for brain gliomas therapy, radiotherapy is important for patients after surgery  This paper make a summary of current progress for radiotherapy of brain gliomas  [Keywords:] radiotherapy; brain gliomas Gliomas are divided into two kinds of low-grade and high grade, low grade (low-grade glioma, LGG) include the Ⅰ ~ Ⅱ grade glioma, hair cell type, star type and protoplasmic cell tumor, less glial cell tumors such as branches, accounting for 10% of intracranial tumors 15%, the survival time is about 5 ~ 10 years. High-grade gliomas (high-grade glioma, HGG), including Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ grade gliomas, malignant anaplastic glioma, medulloblastoma and so on, in primary brain tumors account for 35% ~ 45% [1] , good hair after the 20-year-old adults, survival time is about one year, instead of cure, relapse a few months later. Glioma treatment to surgery-based, but difficult to complete resection, postoperative radiotherapy is very important, we now present a comprehensive overview of the progress made. A high-grade glioma high degree of high-grade malignant glioma, showing invasive growth, surgical complete excision is difficult, local recurrence often leads to surgical failure. Therefore, how to improve local tumor cont
