  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Fourteen cases of metastatic brain tumors from lung cancer underwent biochemical modulation chemother-apy with daily administration of small doses of CDDP (5 or 10mg/day) and continuous infusion of 5-FU (300mg/day) for three to six weeks. All patients with metastatic brain tumors also underwent a total of 30Gy of whole brain irradiation therapy. Of eleven patients who had metastatic brain tumors when chemotherapy started, complete and partial responses were shown in two patients each (36% response rate). Moreover, only four of twelve patients with extracranial lesions re-sponded (33% response rate). Abnormal levels of tumor marker were improved in only three of 10 evaluable pa-tients (30% response rate). Side effects of this che-motherapy included various WHO grades of bone mar-row suppression as well as nausea and vomiting in 13 of 14 patients. Loss of appetite persisted for two months. Parkinsonism was also noted in three patients as an additional side effect. Mean survival time was 9.4 months, while 4 patients survived longer than one year. Data showing a low response rate, persistant loss of appetite and longer admission period were considered less favorable than those of other chemotherapeutic regimens.
