BBBD - The use of drugs to create openings between cells in the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is a protective network of blood vessels and tissues that protects the brain from pollutants but can also prevent cancer drugs from reaching the brain. Once the barrier is open, cancer drugs can be infused into an artery leading to the brain to treat brain tumors. Also called blood-brain barrier disorder
