We confirmed the efficacy of superselective arterial infusion and concomitant radiotherapy, which can concentrate the attack of supradose cisplatin on locoregional disease. Even patients with unresectable disease can be cured. Further studies are needed to establish the indications, long-term outcome, and possible late side effects of this treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
