This is an open label, single arm, prospective, and pilot study. Eligible patients will be enrolled after acquiring the signed informed consent and then will receive the treatment of re-RT combined with FUS (FUS + re-RT) on an outpatient basis. The re-RT in FUS + re-RT treatment will include fractioned stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatment (FUS + SRS) or conventional radiotherapy (cRT) treatment (FUS + cRT). The treatment of SRS or cRT treatment given to patients is determined by the investigator depending on the volume and location of the treatment region.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUS + re-RT or FUS + SRS | Experimental | The SRS treatment will be administered for 3 consecutive days (one fraction of 7-9 Gy per day; total dose 21-27 Gy), including SRS treatment 1 (SRS 1), SRS treatment 2 (SRS 2), and SRS treatment 3 (SRS 3). At the SRS 1 and SRS 3, the patients will be shaved their hair at first, and the patient registration will be performed for the neuronavigation system according to the instruction of the system. cRT will be administered for 5 consecutive days within one week, and a full course is two weeks (one fraction of 3-4 Gy per day; total dose: 30-40 Gy), including cRT treatment 1 to cRT treatment 10 (cRT 1-cRT 10). At the cRT 1, cRT 3, cRT 6, and cRT 8, the patients will be shaved their hair at first, and the patient registration will be performed for the neuronavigation system according to the instruction of the system. |

Inclusion Criteria:
(2) Histologically proven Grade III glioma patients that is recurrent following radiation therapy (RT) and/or temozolomide, who need re-RT treatment based on the physician's judgment.
3. Patients if already on the steroids then should be on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 7 days prior to study treatment.
4. Minimum interval since completion of radiation treatment is 12 weeks. The targeted region of the radiation treatment must be the same as the targeted region in the study according to the investigator's decision.

6. Body mass index (BMI) ≥17 kg/ m2.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤ 3.
8. Patients with life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
9. Adequate hepatic, renal, coagulation, and hematopoietic function.
10. Patients with the region of interest (ROI) for FUS exposure are located at least 30 mm distance beneath the skull bone and the ROI is not in the deep center brain with crucial brain functions, such as in the region of brain stem, or motor or speech regions.
11. Patients with the potential for pregnancy and their partner must agree to follow acceptable birth control methods to avoid conception. Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.
12. Able to give written informed consent for the participation in the trial and comply with study requirements in the opinion of the investigator.
