The efficacy of treatment of patients with primary malignant brain tumors with development of rational techniques of radiotherapy (RT) was improved. The optimum spatiotemporal distribution of the dose, anatomical topographic characteristics of the irradiation depending on the tumor histology and localization was determined. Hyperfractionated RT with spatiotemporal localization of the dse increases 5-year survival by 26-34%
