Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in predicting local recurrence in patients with maxillary sinus cancer treated with super-selective intra-arterial infusion of high-dose cisplatin with concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT). METHODS This single-center retrospective study included consecutive patients with maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent RADPLAT between October 2016 and September 2021. MRI was performed before (within 2 weeks) and 1 month after (post-treatment MRI) the start of treatment. Tumor reduction rates and pre-treatment cross-sectional areas were calculated from the maximum cross-sectional areas on pre- and post-treatment MRI T2-weighted axial images. Statistical analyses, including receiver operating characteristic analysis, were performed to assess the predictive value of the tumor reduction rates. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were included in this study. Recurrence occurred in seven patients with a median time of 213 days. The tumor reduction rates were significantly higher in the benign post-treatment changes group compared to the recurrence group (median, 0.814 vs. 0.174; p < 0.001). The cut-off value for the reduction rate between the groups was 0.3578. No significant difference was observed in the maximum pre-treatment cross-sectional area between the groups (p = 0.664). The inter-observer agreement for the tumor areas was excellent. CONCLUSIONS The tumor reduction rate calculated from MRI T2-weighted images may be a predictor of local recurrence in patients with maxillary sinus cancer treated with RADPLAT. Patients with lower reduction rates may benefit from early salvage surgeries.

Abstract
Surgical resection is recommended for advanced-stage, resectable glottic cancer. However, total laryngectomy results in the loss of vocal function and reduces patients' quality of life. At our institution, patients with cT3N0M0 stage III resectable glottic cancer who wish to preserve their larynx are treated with super-selective cisplatin infusion with concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT) to improve local control over systemic chemotherapy. Herein, we present 4 patients with glottic cancer who underwent biweekly intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy 3 times. For intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, 100 mg cis-diaminodichloroplatinum was infused into the superior thyroid artery, including the superior laryngeal artery branch. Thereafter, intensity-modulated radiation therapy was administered at doses of 70 Gy in 35 fractions for 3 patients and 66 Gy in 33 fractions for 1 patient. These patients showed complete response after chemoradiotherapy with no recurrence or metastases during the follow-up period to date (mean follow-up period: 56 months, range: 39-76 months).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are often treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Recently, antibiotic intake was reported to lower the efficacy of ICIs in patients with several types of cancers. However, it is unclear if antibiotics affect the efficacy of ICIs in patients with head and neck SCC. We retrospectively assessed the influence of antibiotics on the treatment efficacy of nivolumab, an ICI, in patients with head and neck SCC. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients with head and neck SCC treated with nivolumab at the Department of Medical Oncology, Tohoku University Hospital, between 2017 and 2021. Patients who received oral or intravenous antibiotics from a month before the day of nivolumab initiation to the day of the first imaging evaluation of ICI efficacy were assigned to the antibiotic-treated group. The remaining patients were assigned to the antibiotic-untreated group. The response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival time (OS) of both groups were compared. RESULTS Forty-five patients were assigned to the antibiotic-treated group and 19 to the antibiotic-untreated group. The RR, median PFS, and median OS of the antibiotic-treated group were 23.7%, 3.2 months (95% confidential interval [CI]: 2.0-4.1), and 8.4 months (95% CI: 5.3-15.1) and those of the antibiotic-untreated group were 42.1%, 5.8 months (95% CI: 2.3-16.7), and 18.4 months (95% CI: 6.2-23.1), respectively. The PFS of the antibiotic-untreated group was significantly longer than that of the antibiotic-treated group. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that antibiotic treatment significantly shortens the PFS with nivolumab therapy in patients with head and neck SCC.

Abstract
Oral cancer (OC) is increasing worldwide, and it is mostly present to clinic in the late-stage of disease. Cancer of the lips, tongue, hard palate, upper and lower gingiva, buccal mucosa, and retromolar trigone are all included in the category of oral cavity cancer. Disease symptomatology and pathological grading decides the course of treatment. Several treatment modalities either alone in combinations may be utilized for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), including surgery, radiotherapy (external beam radiotherapy/brachytherapy), and adjuvant systemic therapy (chemotherapy or immunotherapy). Cancer patients also face a greater risk of oral side effects from chemotherapy, such as slowed tissue healing, bone, and salivary gland damage and disintegration, and disruption of the normal bacterial balance in the mouth. Consequently, the economic burden of the salivary gland, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal cancers must be also known for budget allocation, designing different programs and management strategies targeting oral cancers by any healthcare institutes. This article provides a summary of the most recent research that supports the use of chemotherapy for patients with advanced illness both alone and in conjunction with radiation including its adverse events and cost burden for oral cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers are the most common cancers arising in the head and neck. Treatment of oral cavity cancer is generally surgery followed by radiotherapy, whereas oropharyngeal cancers, which are more likely to be advanced at the time of diagnosis, are managed with radiotherapy or chemoradiation. Surgery for oral cancers can be disfiguring and both surgery and radiotherapy have significant functional side effects. The development of new chemotherapy agents, new combinations of agents and changes in the relative timing of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy treatments may potentially bring about increases in both survival and quality of life for this group of patients. This review updates one last published in 2011. OBJECTIVES To determine whether chemotherapy, in addition to radiotherapy and/or surgery for oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma results in improved overall survival, improved disease-free survival and/or improved locoregional control, when incorporated as either induction therapy given prior to locoregional treatment (i.e. radiotherapy or surgery), concurrent with radiotherapy or in the adjuvant (i.e. after locoregional treatment with radiotherapy or surgery) setting. SEARCH METHODS An information specialist searched 4 bibliographic databases up to 15 September 2021 and used additional search methods to identify published, unpublished and ongoing studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) where more than 50% of participants had primary tumours in the oral cavity or oropharynx, and that evaluated the addition of chemotherapy to other treatments such as radiotherapy and/or surgery, or compared two or more chemotherapy regimens or modes of administration. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS For this update, we assessed the new included trials for their risk of bias and at least two authors extracted data from them. Our primary outcome was overall survival (time to death from any cause). Secondary outcomes were disease-free survival (time to disease recurrence or death from any cause) and locoregional control (response to primary treatment). We contacted trial authors for additional information or clarification when necessary. MAIN RESULTS We included 100 studies with 18,813 participants. None of the included trials were at low risk of bias. For induction chemotherapy, we reported the results for contemporary regimens that will be of interest to clinicians and people being treated for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. Overall, there is insufficient evidence to clearly demonstrate a survival benefit from induction chemotherapy with platinum plus 5-fluorouracil prior to radiotherapy (hazard ratio (HR) for death 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70 to 1.04, P = 0.11; 7427 participants, 5 studies; moderate-certainty evidence), prior to surgery (HR for death 1.06, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.60, P = 0.77; 198 participants, 1 study; low-certainty evidence) or prior to concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) with cisplatin (HR for death 0.71, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.35, P = 0.30; 389 participants, 2 studies; low-certainty evidence). There is insufficient evidence to support the use of an induction chemotherapy regimen with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil plus docetaxel prior to CRT with cisplatin (HR for death 1.08, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.44, P = 0.63; 760 participants, 3 studies; low-certainty evidence). There is insufficient evidence to support the use of adjuvant chemotherapy over observation only following surgery (HR for death 0.95, 95% CI 0.73 to 1.22, P = 0.67; 353 participants, 5 studies; moderate-certainty evidence). Among studies that compared post-surgical adjuvant CRT, as compared to post-surgical RT, adjuvant CRT showed a survival benefit (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.98, P = 0.03; 1097 participants, 4 studies; moderate-certainty evidence). Primary treatment with CRT, as compared to radiotherapy alone, was associated with a reduction in the risk of death (HR for death 0.74, 95% CI 0.67 to 0.83, P < 0.00001; 2852 participants, 24 studies; moderate-certainty evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review demonstrate that chemotherapy in the curative-intent treatment of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers only seems to be of benefit when used in specific circumstances together with locoregional treatment. The evidence does not show a clear survival benefit from the use of induction chemotherapy prior to radiotherapy, surgery or CRT. Adjuvant CRT reduces the risk of death by 16%, as compared to radiotherapy alone. Concurrent chemoradiation as compared to radiation alone is associated with a greater than 20% improvement in overall survival; however, additional research is required to inform how the specific chemotherapy regimen may influence this benefit.

Abstract
Background Retrospectively to evaluate the influence of radiochemotherapy (RCT) in the treatment of surgically and non-surgically treated Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).
Material and Methods We analysed 934 patients treated in Hospital Haroldo Juaçaba (2000-2014; 15 years of study) by extraction of data type of cancer, localization of tumour, sex, age, race, education level, risk factors (smoking and alcohol use), year of diagnosis, TNM stage, therapeutic approach, health system used (public or private) and overall survival (OS). Surgically and non-surgically treated OSCC were compared by chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests, and their prognostic factors were analysed by log-rank Mantel-Cox plus Cox regression tests (SPSS 20.0, p<0.05).
Results Non-surgically treated OSCC patients had a lower OS than surgically treated OSCC patients (p<0.001), but an increase in OS was shown in both groups. Although the 2010-2014 period (p=0.003), education level (p=0.032), tongue/mouth floor/palate localization (p=0.023) and TNM stage (p<0.05) were important in non-surgically treated OSCC OS, the major prognostic factors were node metastasis (p=0.003) and non-use of RCT (p=0.039) (multivariate analysis). In surgically treated OSCC patients, higher OS was shown in the 2010-2014 period (p<0.001), females (p=0.012), non-drinkers (p=0.011), non-smokers (p=0.009) and those with lower TNM stage (p<0.05), but the major prognostic factor was the 2010-2014 period (p=0.004) (multivariate analysis), which was directly associated with an increase in RCT indication (p<0.001).
Conclusions The increase in RCT improved the OS in this large cohort of surgically and non-surgically treated OSCC patients. Key words:Mouth neoplasms, neck, radiotherapy, drug therapy, combination.

Applicability of a single camera-based catheter navigation system using teeth arch as an anatomical landmark for superselective intraarterial infusion in advanced oral cancer treatment. Med Biol Eng Comput 2021; 59:663-672.

Abstract
Superselective intraarterial infusion chemoradiotherapy is a modality of oral cancer therapy in which the artery feeding the tumor is catheterized. 3D information about the carotid artery is required to enable the surgeon to judge whether to advance, retract, or rotate the catheter. For this purpose, we proposed and conducted a model experiment to assess a new method of catheterization that applies a tracking system using registration with a monocular camera using the maxillary arch as the anatomical landmark. In this method, the preoperative 3D computer tomography angiographic image of the carotid artery that the catheter will be passed through is overlaid on the 2D video image. The mean TRE was 0.96 ± 0.36 mm and 0.88 ± 0.31 mm and 1.12 ± 0.46 mm when images were registered with the anterior and posterior teeth as the landmarks, respectively; the difference was not significant (p = 0.21). This tracking system that enables markerless registration simply by taking images of the maxillary anterior teeth with a single camera was convenient and effective for catheterization. In this study, we propose the new application of this tracking system and a novel method of catheterization for superselective intraarterial infusion chemoradiotherapy for oral cancer. In retrograde superselective intraarterial catheterization, a catheter is inserted into a tumor-feeding artery originating from the external carotid artery (ECA) (the lingual artery [LA], facial artery [FA], or maxillary artery [MA]). Because the maxillary dentition is located near the external carotid artery, we focused on real-time markerless registration using maxillary dentition fixed to the skull. ![]()

Abstract
We report on a 69-year-old man with locally-advanced left maxillary sinus cancer who underwent treatment with intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy. Angiography showed that the main feeding arteries were the left maxillary artery and the ophthalmic artery, arising from the internal carotid artery. Due to acute branching of the ophthalmic artery, conventional microcatheters could not be inserted. Using a steerable microcatheter, we were able to repeatedly administer chemoradiotherapy via the ophthalmic artery. The tumor has mostly disappeared after intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy, and the patient is still alive two years after treatment. A steerable microcatheter is very useful for acute-angled vascular branches.

Abstract
Central nervous damage related to intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy (IAC) for head and neck cancer reported to date are cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, and neuropathy. There have been no reports of cerebral hemorrhage as an IAC-related complication for head and neck cancer. Authors report a case that underwent intra-arterial infusion chemoradiotherapy for advanced sphenoid sinus cancer which extended to the left cavernous sinus and cranium, subsequently suffered cerebral hemorrhage thought to have been caused by IAC. Treatment should be performed with greater caution when the head and neck cancer involves the cavernous sinus or cranium, as in the present case.

Abstract
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been extensively investigated in the local treatment of cancer due to its potential of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in biological systems. In this study, we examined the synergistic effect of combination of CAP and cisplatin-mediated chemotherapy of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in vitro. SCC-15 OSCC cells and human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-1) cells were treated with cisplatin, and then, the cells were irradiated with CAP. Following this, viability and apoptosis behavior of the cells were investigated. The viability of SCC-15 cells was inhibited by cisplatin with a dose-dependent manner and CAP treatment time. HGF-1 cells also showed decreased viability by treatment with cisplatin and CAP. Combination of 1 μM cisplatin plus 3 min of CAP treatment or 3 μM cisplatin plus 1 min of CAP treatment showed a synergistic anticancer effect with appropriate cytotoxicity against normal cells. ROS generation and dead cell staining were also increased by the increase in CAP treatment time. Furthermore, tumor-suppressor proteins and apoptosis-related enzymes also increased according to the treatment time of CAP. We showed the synergistic effect of cisplatin and CAP treatment against SCC-15 cells with low cytotoxicity against normal cells.

A novel technique of arterial blood flow modification in intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy of maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma. Oral Oncol 2020; 109:104873. [PMID: 32604059 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2020.104873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy via a superficial temporal artery is reportedly a useful organ-preserving treatment for maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma. This study aimed to determine whether blood flow modification facilitates sufficient drug delivery to the entire carcinoma via the maxillary artery alone, even for advanced tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 10 patients who were diagnosed with locally advanced carcinoma (4 [40%] at stage T3, 5 [50%] at T4a, and 1 [10%] at T4b) from August 2016 to July 2018, with tumor blood flow from both the maxillary and facial arteries, was conducted. Patients underwent intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy, which involved chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin administration (40 mg/m2) and radiotherapy (70 Gy/35 fr), with facial artery ligation. The success rate of blood flow modification, as well as its therapeutic effects and safety, were evaluated, with a median follow-up period of 14.4 months (range: 12.3-35 months). RESULTS The blood flow surrounding the tumor was changed from both the maxillary and facial arteries to the maxillary artery alone in all patients. A median of 9 chemotherapy courses (range: 8-10) were administered; the median total cisplatin dose was 350 mg/m2 (range: 320-360 mg/m2). Radiotherapy of 70 Gy/35 fr was used to treat all patients. Grade 3 oral mucositis (80%) and irradiation field dermatitis (40%) were observed. In all patients, complete response was achieved, and local recurrence was not observed for at least 1 year. CONCLUSION Simplifying the blood flow around the tumor facilitates more standardized intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy via a superficial temporal artery procedure.

Abstract
Advancements in medical imaging and device technology allow minimal invasive procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders. For the management of tumors in head and neck region, these image-guided interventions play essential role in the often used multidisciplinary approach. Tissue sampling under ultrasound or computed tomography guidance is generally the first step to reach a pathological diagnosis. For head and neck tumors with high vascularity, embolization using particulate matter, liquid embolic agents, or coils is used to achieve successful tumor resection with minimal blood loss. Hemorrhage related to head and neck tumors can be evaluated and managed with endovascular techniques with minimal morbidity and mortality. Intra-arterial chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and cryotherapy are new techniques for the management of advanced head and neck cancer which may serve as an alternative to achieve locoregional control and survival when curative resection may not be feasible.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to evaluate survival in 141 patients with stage II-IV oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treated with preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and peplomycin combined with intravenous chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil (IADCPIVF) via the superficial temporal artery, and to clarify the prognostic factors. The study population included 59 patients with stage II OSCC, 34 with stage III, and 48 with stage IV. After IADCPIVF, 139 patients underwent surgery; minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) including excisional biopsy were performed on 96 patients with a remarkably good response to IADCPIVF. The primary tumour response rate was 99.3% (complete response rate 56.7%, good partial response rate 17.0%, fair partial response rate 25.5%). Additionally, there were no serious adverse events associated with IADCPIVF. The 5-year overall survival rate was 74.6% (stage II 83.6%, stage III 72.7%, stage IV 64.8%). In the multivariate analysis of survival, T classification and clinical tumour response were significant prognostic factors. Eight (8.3%) of the patients who received MIS had primary recurrence and six were salvaged. In conclusion, IADCPIVF is safe and efficacious for treating OSCC, and MIS could reduce the extent of primary tumour resection in the case of a remarkably good response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For locally advanced head and neck cancers, intra-arterial (IA) chemotherapy is utilized for locoregional control with favorable results. The study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of microsurgical reconstruction in head and neck cancer patients with IA chemotherapy METHODS: This cohort study retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent head and neck microsurgical reconstruction from January 2014 to August 2018. Patients with prior history of chemotherapy were included and categorized into two groups according to history of IA chemotherapy (IA group)/intravenous chemotherapy (IV group). Flap survival was evaluated along with microsurgical revision rates and complications. Recipient vessel specimens were analyzed by histological examination. A 1:1 propensity score matched analysis was performed. RESULTS The study cohort included 45 patients with IA chemotherapy and 201 patients with IV chemotherapy. After propensity score matching, the difference in total flap loss and microsurgical revision rates were nonsignificant between two groups. However, the IA group had significantly higher rates of arterial thrombosis (Odds ratio [OR] 4.98; 95%CI, 1.28-19.38; p = 0.021), wound-related complications (OR 3.30; 95%CI, 1.21-9.02; p = 0.02) and revision surgery within one month (OR 3.73; 95%CI, 1.10-12.64; p = 0.035). Based on histology, IA group vessels showed a higher intima/media ratio than the IV group (0.45 ± 0.06 versus 0.23 ± 0.03, p = 0.02) CONCLUSION: Despite treating local advanced head and neck cancers with good results, IA chemotherapy may cause subsequent deleterious effects on local tissue due to the high concentration of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. Surgeons should be cautious in selection of recipient vessels when performing microvascular reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the efficacy of regional chemotherapy through the superficial temporal artery and systemic chemotherapy in patients with advanced maxillary sinus cancer. METHODS Nine of 22 patients with over TNM stage III maxillary sinus cancer received regional chemotherapy and 13 received systemically. The change of tumor volume, the degree of response according to the tumor location, and side effects after chemotherapy were analyzed. RESULTS Tumor volume reduction was significantly higher in the regional than systemic chemotherapy. Tumor response to chemotherapy was greater in regional than systemic chemotherapy in most maxillary sinus wall. The tumor response in anterior, posterior, and lateral wall of maxillary sinus was greater more than two times in the regional than systemic chemotherapy. There were no severe side effects related to regional chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Regional chemotherapy was superior to systemic chemotherapy regarding tumor volume reduction, especially located in the anterior, posterior, and lateral wall of maxillary sinus.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm of secretory epithelium that most commonly occurs in the fifth and sixth decades of life. It is characterized by high recurrence rates and poor response to chemotherapy, In the orbit, ACC usually presents as a lacrimal gland mass. We describe the rare case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with pain during mastication and bilateral facial numbness in the cranial nerve V2 distribution. She was found to have adenoid cystic carcinoma involving the orbits bilaterally without lacrimal gland involvement and without a clear primary tumor. Imaging suggested that the tumor arose from the soft palate by extension along cranial nerves V2 and V3. The patient was treated with radiation therapy with some degree of radiographic improvement 27 months after diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of considering adenoid cystic carcinoma when evaluating orbital tumors sparing the lacrimal gland. We also suggest the possibility of an oropharyngeal source with anterograde intracranial extension in cases of putative primary orbital ACC without lacrimal gland involvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for oral cancer can deliver a higher concentration of anticancer agent into a tumor-feeding artery than intravenous systemic chemotherapy. However, distribution of anticancer agent into several branches of the external carotid artery (ECA) in IAC has not demonstrated sufficient treatment efficacy. To improve the effectiveness of IAC, the flow distribution of anticancer agent into the branches of the ECA in several IAC methods was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). METHODS Patient-specific three-dimensional vessel models were created from CT images of 2 patients with tongue cancer. Catheter models were combined with the vessel models. Thirty-two models were generated with varying vertical and horizontal positions of the catheter tip. With the use of a zero-dimensional resistance model of the peripheral vessel network, conventional IAC and superselective IAC were simulated in 30 and 2 models, respectively. The flow distribution of anticancer agent into the branches of the ECA was investigated in 32 models. Additionally, the blood streamline was traced from the inlet of the common carotid artery toward each outlet to examine the flow of anticancer agent in all models, and the wall shear stress of the vessel was calculated for some models. RESULTS The CFD simulations could be conducted within a reasonable computational time. In several models, the anticancer agent flowed into the target artery only when the catheter tip was located below the bifurcation of the ECA and each target artery. Furthermore, the anticancer agent tended to flow into the target artery when the catheter tip was shifted toward the target artery. In all ECA branches that had flow of anticancer agent, the blood streamlines to the target arteries contacted the catheter tip. Anticancer agent flowed into only the target artery in patients' models for superselective IAC. However, high wall shear stress was observed at the target artery in one patient's model. CONCLUSIONS This CFD study showed that location of the catheter tip was important in controlling the anticancer agent in conventional IAC. The distribution rate of anticancer agent into the tumor-feeding artery tended to increase when the catheter tip was placed below and toward the target artery. Although superselective IAC can reliably supply anticancer agent to the target artery, high wall shear stress at the target artery can occur, depending on vessel geometry of the patient, which may cause serious complications during the treatment.

A Novel External Carotid Arterial Sheath System for Intra-arterial Infusion Chemotherapy of Head and Neck Cancer. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2017; 40:1099-1104. [PMID: 28357576 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-017-1635-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2016] [Accepted: 03/21/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe a novel system for treating advanced head and neck cancer consisting of an external carotid arterial sheath (ECAS) and a microcatheter to inject drugs retrogradely into multiple feeding arteries through the superficial temporal artery (STA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Four consecutive patients with head and neck cancer that had more than one feeding artery were enrolled in this study. The ECAS was made of polyurethane and surface-coated with heparin resin to prevent thrombus formation, allowing it to remain in place for a prolonged period of time. The ECAS was inserted through the STA, and its tip was placed between the maxillary artery and facial artery. The tumor-feeding arteries were selected using a hooked-shaped microcatheter through the ECAS. RESULTS A total of 13 target arteries were selected in the four patients. The microcatheter inserted via the ECAS was used to catheterize ten arteries (five lingual arteries and five facial arteries). The remaining three lingual arteries were directly selected by the catheter without ECAS. All of the target arteries were able to be catheterized superselectively. The technical success rate was 100%. Vascular occlusion, which might have been caused by the ECAS, was observed in one patient. No neurologic toxicities occurred. CONCLUSION This ECAS system is a new approach for retrograde superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy that covers the entire tumor with anticancer drugs. It has the potential to increase the effectiveness of therapy for advanced head and neck cancer. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4, Case Series.

Percutaneous Image-Guided Cryoablation of Head and Neck Tumors for Local Control, Preservation of Functional Status, and Pain Relief. AJR Am J Roentgenol 2016; 208:453-458. [PMID: 27845860 DOI: 10.2214/ajr.16.16446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report nine consecutive percutaneous image-guided cryoablation procedures of head and neck tumors in seven patients (four men and three women; mean age, 68 years; age range, 50-78 years). Ablation of the entire tumor for local control or ablation of a region of tumor for pain relief or preservation of function was achieved in eight of nine procedures. One patient experienced intraprocedural bradycardia, and another developed a neopharyngeal abscess. There were no deaths, permanent neurologic or functional deficits, vascular complications, or adverse cosmetic sequelae due to the procedures. CONCLUSION Percutaneous image-guided cryoablation offers a potentially less morbid minimally invasive treatment option than salvage head and neck surgery. The complications that we encountered may be avoidable with increased experience. Further work is needed to continue improving the safety and efficacy of cryoablation of head and neck tumors and to continue expanding the use of cryoablation in patients with head and neck tumors that cannot be treated surgically.
