Abstract

Interventional neuro-oncology encompasses an array of image-guided therapies-intra-arterial chemotherapy, regional drug delivery, chemoembolization, tumor ablation-along with techniques to improve therapy delivery such as physical or chemical blood-brain barrier disruption and percutaneous catheter placement. Endovascular and percutaneous image-guided approaches to the treatment of the brain, eye, and other head and neck tumors will be discussed.

Keywords: Blood–brain barrier disruption; Drug delivery; Interventional; Intra-arterial chemotherapy.
