New York, NY (May 7, 2003) -- An innovative treatment for the deadliest brain cancer -- consisting of pharmaceutical wafers applied directly to the brain in lieu of traditional intravenous chemotherapy -- has recently been shown to extend the lives of patients with early-stage disease, according to a physician-scientist at Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Susan Pannullo, Director of the Division of Neuro-Oncology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center, will discuss the treatment today (May 7), at The Delaware Valley Brain Tumor Support Group in Philadelphia, as part of National Brain Cancer Awareness Week, May 5-12.The FDA-approved treatment, which involves the implanting of dime-sized GLIADEL¨ wafers in the brain cavity following surgical removal of the glioma tumor, has shown to have a dramatic benefit for early stage brain tumor patients. A study published this year shows that patients with early-stage gliomas treated with GLIADEL live, on average, 26 percent longer than patients with traditional intravenous therapy (13.5 months vs. 10 months).
