ABSTRACT
The authors report their preliminary experience with the use of radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies (MAb) as an adjuvant treatment for 33 malignant gliomas. MAbs employed in this study are raised against Tenascin (TN) which is an antigen of the extracellular matrix of the tumour. It has also been found in neoplastic cells but never in normal brain tissue. This therapy is aimed to give a local high dose radiation (boost) while sparing healthy brain structures. This treatment has always been well tolerated and no adverse reactions at the level of CNS or major extraneural organs has been observed. Significant improvement of median survival has been obtained but this result should be cautiously evaluate since the study is non-randomized. Comparison with other current adjuvant technique is briefly discussed.
