title: [Interstitial radiotherapy using I-125 seeds in brain neoplasms of slow development].
abstract: The opportunity of stereotactic biopsy for the histological diagnosis of brain tumors, the radiobiologic bases, clinical implications and technical possibilities of interstitial radiation therapy are discussed. The results of 9 cases, out of 14 treated to-date over 20 months, with a minimum follow-up of 4 months, are presented.
