Intra-arterial BCNU in the treatment of metastatic brain tumors.

Abstract:

:Thirty-one patients with metastatic brain tumors that either failed to respond or recurred after conventional therapy were treated by intra-arterial infusion of 100 mg/m2 of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) into either a carotid or vertebral artery. Five patients (three with lung cancer, one with breast cancer and one with melanoma) had a partial response of the tumor(s) in the distribution of the injected artery. In two patients, brain metastases not in the distribution of the injected artery enlarged, while the tumors perfused by the injected artery responded. In one of these patients, subsequent infusion of BCNU to the enlarging tumor resulted in a partial response. Among responders, the median survival following onset of BCNU was 17 weeks. One patient remains alive and well at 30 weeks. No permanent neurological, retinal or systemic toxicity was observed.
