  • Look Inside

Chemotherapy of experimental meningeal carcino-matosis was studied in female SD rats inoculated intracisternally with 1×104 Walker 256 carcino-sarcoma cells. Nontreated animals died in 11 to 13 days after tumor inoculation. Autopsy findings of the animals were similar to those seen in diffuse or multifocal invasion of leptomeninges by systemic cancer in human.

Tumor bearing animals were treated by intra-venous administration of cyclophosphamide, bleomycin (BLM), 1-(4-amino-2-methy1-5-pyrim-idiny1)-methy1-3-nitrosourea hydrochloride (ACNU) or combination of these starting 5 days after in-oculation.

Cyclophosphamide, 30 mg/kg on Day 5, increased median survival time in 52%. BLM, 5 mg/kg on Day 5 and 5 mg, q2d, on Day 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, were ineffective. ACNU, 15 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg on Day 5, increased median survival time in 70 or 82%.

Combination of ACNU, 15 mg/kg and BLM, 5 mg/kg on Day 5, produced a maximal increased median survival time of 200%. Combination of ACNU, 15 mg/kg on Day 5 and BLM, 5 mg/kg, q2d, on Day 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, increased median survival time in more than 360% and cured up to 60% of animals.

The results suggest that the blood-CSF barrier is broken as tumor grows along the meninges. The possible explanatin on the synergetic effect of ACNU and BLM on experimental meningeal carcinomatosis is that the tumor cells are accumu-lated in G2-M phase by ACNU and the effect of BLM is potentiated because tumor cells in G2-M phase are sensitive to BLM.

These results imply the therapeutic value of systemic chemotherapy by the combination of ACNU and BLM for human meningeal carcino-matosis.
