The purpose of this study is to find out whether an experimental drug, bevacizumab with temozolomide is safe when given to elderly patients with brain tumors and investigate the side effects of the drug combination and how often they occur. This study will also explore whether bevacizumab and temozolomide can be effective in shrinking tumors when given to elderly patients with brain tumors without giving radiation therapy.
