Abstract

Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer have poor quality of life and suffer dismally from debilitating symptoms. Ablative techniques offer patients an alternative, minimally invasive treatment option. As a palliative treatment, they improve quality of life with decreased pain, improved function and appearance. In addition, there is a reduction in tumor bulk and analgesia requirements. Advantages include a reduction in procedural cost, avoidance of complex repetitive surgeries, and an ability to visualize the treated area at the time of the procedure. Ablation therapies are an evolving and exciting treatment option in the head and neck, but a consensus on appropriate indications is currently unclear.

摘要

复发性头颈癌患者生活质量较差，深受衰弱症状之苦。消融技术为患者提供了一种微创治疗的替代选择。作为一种姑息治疗方法，它们可改善生活质量，减轻疼痛，改善功能和外观。此外，肿瘤体积和镇痛需求也会减少。其优点包括降低手术成本、避免复杂的重复性手术，以及在手术过程中能够可视化治疗区域。消融疗法是头颈领域一种不断发展且令人兴奋的治疗选择，但目前对于合适的适应症尚无共识。
