Superselective intraarterial infusion of cisplatin for squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth: preliminary clinical experience.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE.The The tumors were located in the tongue (n = 7), gingiva (n = 3), buccal mucosa (n = i), hard palate (n = 1), and floor of the mouth (n = 1

Intra-arterial induction high-dose chemotherapy with cisplatin for oral and oropharyngeal cancer: long-term results

“…Truly neoadjuvant usage (before definitive treatment by surgery or radiation), with an exclusive transfemoral approach and superselective perfusion, has been rare (Korogi et al, 1995;Hirai et al, 1999;Benazzo et al, 2000;Damascelli et al, 2003). By far, the largest population (213 patients) in this group was reported by Kovács et al (1999) and Kovács (2003a); the other investigators having reported between 13 and 23 patients.…”

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue: a case report

“…Chemotherapy is effective for oral SCC, and a cisplatin analogue of carboplatin is regarded as one of the most active chemotherapeutic agents (6). However, the recommended treatment protocol for BSCC has been reported to be radical surgery followed by radiotherapy and/ or systemic chemotherapy (1, 4-5, 7-8).…”

A Cone-Beam Volume CT Using a 3D Angiography System with a Flat Panel Detector of Direct Conversion Type: Usefulness for Superselective Intra-arterial Chemotherapy for Head and Neck Tumors

“…The arterial infusion of indigocarmine dye is often helpful for identification of the tumor-feeding arteries, when the tumors can be directly seen. 1 For the deeply seated tumors with multiple feeding arteries, however, the infusion of indigocarmine dye is not useful; in such cases, the cone-beam CT allows interventional radiologists to determine the feeders, as well as the dose of antitumor agent for each feeder. Previous reports have described the complications associated with intra-arterial chemotherapy for cancers of the head and neck.…”

“…Recent advances in the therapeutic techniques of interventional radiology, including the development of some types of microcatheters, now enable us to perform superselective arterial infusion to head and neck structures. [1][2][3][4] Because conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) provides only 2D projections of the vascular anatomy, however, the identification of the tumor feeding artery is occasionally difficult due to the presence of a complex anatomy or multiple feeding arteries. In addition, staining of head and neck tumors is not always observed on DSA.…”
