摘要
Purpose: Intraarterial drug therapy for head and neck cancer has been used for more than 30 years. However, because of catheter-related complications occurring quite frequently, this method was abandoned in many institutions. The development of subcutaneously implantable injection ports has renewed interest in regional drug delivery. Patients and Methods: This study reports the authors' experience with 11 injection ports implanted in 10 patients suffering from advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer. Results: The regional chemotherapy was well tolerated; the predominant side effects were hemialopecia and mild unilateral mucositis. Conclusions: These results suggest that regional, intra-arterial chemotherapy using implantable injection ports should be considered for palliative treatment of advanced head and neck cancer.
