Carmustine Implants in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases

Study:

The Treatment of One or Two Supratentorial Brain Metastases With Surgical Resection and BCNU-Polymer Wafers

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.
