โœฆ Synopsis

Two patients with recurrent medulloblastomas were treated with combined oral and intra-venous chemotherapy followed by intra-arterial BCNU. The 7 days course of oral and intra-venous chemotherapy consisted of CCNU and Procarbazin orally and Vincristine intra-venously (PCV), repeated after 6 weeks.

Intra-arterial chemotherapy consisted of 4 cycles of BCNU. Both patients responded well to treatment, evaluated by CT scans. One of the patients died of a new local recurrence 6 months after initiation of chemotherapy, whereas the other patient remains well, without CT evidence of tumour 36 months after the start of the treatment. No serious adverse side-effects related to the treatment were seen.

The i.a. BCNU technique was used 111 times to infuse 134 arteries in 37 patients. These patients,

Cisplatin (DDP) is a chemotherapeutic agent that has shown efficacy against primary CNS malignancies. Intraarterial (IA) administration of DDP to patients with brain tumors should produce higher peak levels of drug than intravenous (IV) administration of an identical dose and reduce systemic toxicit
