Abstract

✓ Bis-chlorethyl-nitrosourea (BCNU) is one of the numerous experimental chemotherapeutic agents used to treat recurrent brain tumors. The clinical response and the angiographic changes in tumor vascularity were compared in 32 patients treated with BCNU for recurrent primary brain tumor. In five of 22 initially vascular lesions the tumor vasculature increased, in 11 it decreased, and in six it remained unchanged after treatment. There was no correlation between angiographic changes in the tumor and the clinical course following BCNU therapy.
