Selenium in the treatment of patients with brain gliomas. A pilot study
Zentralbl Neurochir.
1990.
Abstract
The authors have added selenium tablets to the diet of 15 patients with malignant brain tumors. In twelve patients with glioblastoma multiforme this treatment didn't prolong the postoperative survival. Further clinical observations are necessary to precise the usefulness of selenium in cases of low-grade gliomas.
