The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness, safety, and efficacy of intra-arterial (IA) infusion chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced oral commissure cancer.
Twenty-one patients with stages III and IV squamous cell carcinoma involving the mouth angle were recruited. Methotrexate (MTX; 50 mg/day) was continuously infused into the external carotid artery for a mean period of 8 days, followed by weekly IA bolus of 25 mg MTX for a mean period of 10 weeks.
Thirteen patients (62%) achieved a complete response (CR) and 7 patients (33%) had a partial response (PR). At a median follow-up of 69 months, the estimated 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of the patients with CR versus PR were 100% versus 57%, 92% versus 43%, and 80% versus 43%, respectively.
Our data demonstrate that continuous IA chemotherapy could achieve a competitive acceptable survival rate and improved locoregional control of advanced oral commissure cancer.
本研究旨在评估动脉内(IA)灌注化疗对局部晚期口角癌患者的有效性、安全性和疗效。
招募了21例累及口角的III期和IV期鳞状细胞癌患者。将甲氨蝶呤(MTX;50mg/天)持续注入颈外动脉,平均持续8天,随后每周进行一次25mg MTX的动脉内推注,平均持续10周。
13例患者(62%)达到完全缓解(CR),7例患者(33%)有部分缓解(PR)。在中位随访69个月时,CR患者与PR患者的估计1年、3年和5年生存率分别为100%对57%、92%对43%和80%对43%。
我们的数据表明,持续动脉内化疗可实现具有竞争力的可接受生存率,并改善晚期口角癌的局部区域控制。
