The invention relates to the use of biodegradable microspheres that release a
radiosensitizing anticancer agent for producing a medicament to be used simultaneously
with, separately from or spread over time with a radiotherapy, for treating glioblastoma.
The use of said biodegradable microspheres according to the invention results in
a patient survival time of at least 90 weeks, a therapeutically effective concentration
being maintained in the parenchymatous area throughout this time. The microspheres
used preferably contain 5-fluorouracile of the tumor, by intratissular injection.
The radiotherapy targeting the tumorous mass is dosed at 60 Gy over approximately
6 weeks. The invention also relates to a method for producing the biodegradable
microspheres by emulsion-extraction, and to a suspension containing the biodegradable
microspheres obtained using this method.
