Carmustine Implants in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Metastatic Cancer, Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of implanted carmustine wafers in treating patients who have brain metastases and who are undergoing surgery to remove the tumor.
