Ep. 400 Intra-Arterial Approaches in Tumor Therapy: Overcoming the Blood-Brain Barrier with Dr. Piotr Walczak and Dr. Prakash Ambady
Manage episode 393226455 series 2658136
In this episode of the Backtable Podcast, guest host Dr. Paul Bhogal, a consultant interventional neuroradiologist at Royal London Hospital in the UK, and guests Dr. Piotr Walczak and Dr. Prakash Ambady discuss the potential of intra-arterial treatments combined with blood brain barrier (BBB) manipulation in treating various neurological conditions and tumors.
The trio of doctors discuss methods such as the use of hyperosmolar mannitol and focused ultrasound to breach the BBB and deliver drugs directly to the brain tissue. Dr. Walczak and Dr. Ambady also highlight their individual research areas, including therapies involving cell delivery and engineered cells. The conversation also covers potential risks and new perspectives in comparison to current techniques such as whole-brain radiation.
