Introduction: The median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (astrocytoma grade 4) remains less than 18 months despite radical surgery, radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. Surgical implantation of chemotherapy eluting wafers into th...

Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix (2013)
Journal Article
Rahman, C. V., Smith, S. J., Morgan, P. S., Langmack, K. A., Clarke, P. A., Ritchie, A. A., …Rahman, R. (2013). Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix. PLoS ONE, 8(10), Article e77435. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0077435

INTRODUCTION Polymer-based delivery systems offer innovative intra-cavity administration of drugs, with the potential to better target micro-deposits of cancer cells in brain parenchyma beyond the resected cavity. Here we evaluate clinical utility... Read More about Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix.
