title: Intraarterial cisplatin plus intravenous doxorubicin for inoperable recurrent meningiomas.
abstract: The majority of meningiomas are cured by surgical resection. There is little information in the literature on the use of chemotherapy in meningiomas. We report 2 patients with inoperable recurrences of meningiomas that responded (1 patient) or stabilized (1 patient) when treated with the combination of intracarotid cisplatin plus intravenous doxorubicin.
