Excerpt

First, let us point out the central point of agreement between Dr. Foray and ourselves. We all agree that the combination of photon irradiation and intracerebral (i.c.) delivery of cisplatin or carboplatin results in enhanced survival of F98 glioma bearing rats compared to each modality alone and that this therapeutic approach appears as promising for brain tumor treatment. Now let us turn to the areas of disagreement. …
