A phase I trial of 25 patients with anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma multiforme is described. Hyperthermia and radiation were delivered stereotactically by means of template-guided interstitial catheters loaded with ferromagnetic wires and then 192Ir seeds. Implant volumes ranged from 15 to 113 ml (mean 54 ml) involving 9-38 catheters (mean 18); parallel catheters used hexagonal spacing of 1.0-1.5 cm. Patient tolerance of these procedures was excellent. Postoperative morbidity due to additional mass effect or edema was low, but there has been one death and one complication of hydrocephalus, bleeding and symptomatic pneumocephalus, each.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
