Intraarterial ACNU chemotherapy in malignant cerebral gliomas: preliminary results

The authors report their experience with intraarterial chemotherapy (ACNU) in 20 patients with malignant gliomas of the central nervous system. They describe their methodology and emphasise the absence of important complications. At the moment, intra-arterial chemotherapy seems to be one of the most interesting of the new methods used to treat malignant brain tumours, but wider experience is needed for better assessment of the results.
