OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the combined use of customized molds and recently available remote afterloading brachytherapy apparatus with more flexible catheters in the treatment of superficial oral carcinomas.
STUDY DESIGN
Four patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who were treated through use of this combined technique were analyzed retrospectively. The molds were made from transparent acrylic resin through use of a dental technique. The combined approach was applied as a boost therapy after external irradiation.
RESULTS
The 4 patients had had no recurrence of tumor or radiation injury by the end of the follow-up period.
CONCLUSIONS
The combined technique could be an excellent method of treating superficial carcinomas of the oral cavity.
目的
本研究旨在探讨定制模具与最近可用的带有更灵活导管的远程后装近距离放射治疗设备联合使用在浅表口腔癌治疗中的作用。
研究设计
回顾性分析4例采用这种联合技术治疗的口腔鳞状细胞癌患者。模具由透明丙烯酸树脂通过牙科技术制成。该联合方法在体外照射后用作强化治疗。
结果
在随访期结束时，这4例患者均未出现肿瘤复发或放射性损伤。
结论
联合技术可能是治疗口腔浅表癌的一种极佳方法。
