15513 Background: We previously developed a new method of superselective intra-arterial infusion via the superficial temporal artery (HFT method; Hattori, Fuwa and Tohnai). Our previous study involved preoperative daily concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy with docetaxel (D) and cisplatin (C) using the HFT method for 41 patients with stage III, IV oral cancer. Clinical effects were complete response (CR) in 29 (82.9%) and partial response (PR) in 6 (17.1%) patients and pathological effects of the resected tumor were CR in 31 (88.6%) and PR in 4 (11.4%) patients, with a 5-year cumulative survival rate (overall rate) of 78.8%. Thus, the present study investigated the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy using the HFT method without surgery for stage III, IV oral cancer.
METHODS
Patients (n = 16) with stage III, IV oral cancer were treated. A new catheter was prepared by modifying a 1.35-mm diameter angiographic catheter and inserting it superselectively using a guide wire to the feeding artery of the tumor via the superficial temporal artery. Long-term catheterization is possible by this method. Radiotherapy (total dose: 60 Gy) and superselective intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy using D (total dose: 60 mg/m2) and C (total dose: 100 mg/m2) were concurrently performed daily. Radical neck dissection was performed after chemoradiotherapy, but the primary lesions were preserved.
RESULTS
Toxicities over grade 3 were leukopenia (6.3%), mucositis (25.0%), and dermatitis (18.8%). No infection was associated with catherization. No major complications were observed. The clinical effects were CR in 13 (81.5%) patients, with recurrences in 3 patients. Salvage operations were performed in these 3 patients. The 3-year cumulative survival rate (overall rate) of 87.5% is higher than that of conventional therapy.
CONCLUSIONS
Our HFT method, unlike the Seldinger method, allows for long-term catheterization, enabling daily concurrent chemoradiotherapy to be performed. This method promises to be the strategy of choice for the treatment of stage III, IV head and neck cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
