Abstract

Some of the current experimental approaches to the treatment of CNS leukemia are reviewed. While small animal models have provided a basic understanding of the pathophysiology of meningeal leukemia, large animal models, particularly the subhuman primate, allow a more detailed examination of the complex dynamics of CNS pharmacokinetics. Principles derived from these models have provided a rational basis for the development of new approaches to the treatment of meningeal leukemia in man.
