Intraarterial cisplatin plus intravenous doxorubicin for inoperable recurrent meningiomas.
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.
