Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We have been performing the superselective transarterial infusion of high-dose cisplatin for advanced maxillary cancer since 1998 and the local control rate, disease free survival rate, and organ preservation have improved markedly compared with our former therapy. This study evaluates the effectiveness of superselective transarterial infusion therapy by using high-dose cisplatin on maxillary cancer with orbital invasion.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We treated 23 patients with maxillary cancer by using superselective transarterial infusion therapy with high-dose cisplatin and concomitant radiation therapy for 10 years. Of all patients, 15 showed orbital invasion, with 11 of these tumors fed by both internal maxillary and ophthalmic arteries. In all patients, we performed superselective transarterial infusion therapy via the internal maxillary artery and/or the other feeding branches from the external carotid artery. After the operation, we determined whether a pCR had occurred by checking for the presence of viable cells. In addition, we calculated the overall survival rate, preservation rate of the eyeball, and disease-free survival rate.
RESULTS: For all 23 patients, pCR and overall survival rates were 95.7% and 78.4%, respectively. To date, 2 of these patients died of lung metastasis without local recurrence. For the 15 patients with orbital invasion, the respective pCR and disease-free survival rates were 93.3% and 87.5%. Eyeballs were preserved in all patients, and local recurrence occurred in only 1 patient, at the inferior wall of the maxillary sinus (not in the orbit).
CONCLUSIONS: Superselective transarterial infusion therapy with high-dose cisplatin remarkably improved the local control rate and disease-free survival rate of maxillary cancer. Even in patients with orbital invasion, a high local control rate was achieved, with preservation of the eyeball, through infusion only into branches of the external carotid artery.
