New device: A neuroinfusion drug delivery system for brain tumor chemo

Posted by marcyprof @marcyprof, Nov 28, 2019

Hope when we want... Have you heard about a new drug infusion device that is being treated directly in the brain? This has been developed for Parkinson's, but it can be used to make brain tumor chemotherapy in situ rather than to poison the whole body.

Hi, @ginette55 - just to clarify, do you mean your grandson's doctors gave up on treating his brain tumor?

You're right Becky@becsbuddy, the advantage of Ommaya's reservoir is that it sends the drug directly to the tumor. There are therefore fewer negative side effects of chemotherapy on the patient.
I discussed this with my neurosurgeon who has already installed some of his patients. He explained to me that this technology is effective depending on the location of the tumor. In my case, because the tumor is located near the 3rd ventricle, this is not an option but it would seem that it is a proven biotechnology for GBM.
