Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption in the Treatment of Brain Tumors
Breaking the brain’s protective barrier to treat brain tumors
AI simplified
Abstract
BBB disruption (BBBD) successfully increases the delivery of antineoplastic agents to the central nervous system.
- Standard chemotherapy has limited effectiveness in treating brain tumors due to barriers in drug delivery.
- The blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a significant challenge for the treatment of brain neoplasias.
- Innovative approaches have been developed to improve drug delivery across the BBB.
- The chapter discusses the application of BBBD in rats as a method to enhance drug delivery.
- Several techniques for evaluating BBB permeability after hyperosmolar mannitol infusion are presented.
