Intraoperative radiation therapy for recurrent head and neck cancer.
Forty-seven patients with recurrent head and neck cancer in a previously irradiated field were treated with surgical resection and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). Recurrent disease occurred at a median of 18 months from primary treatment, and was at the primary tumor site in 31 and metastatic to regional lymph nodes in 16. Recurrences were squamous cell carcinomas in 42 and adenoid cys...
متن کاملCombined-modality therapy for locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer.
Traditionally, treatment for locally advanced resectable head and neck cancer has been surgical resection followed by postoperative radiation. In unresectable patients, primary radiation has been the mainstay of treatment. In an attempt to improve local control and survival, chemotherapy has been investigated as an adjunct to locoregional treatment. Induction or adjuvant chemotherapy in combina...
متن کاملIntratumoral PEG-interleukin-2 therapy in patients with locoregionally recurrent head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND An enhanced efficacy of local as compared to systemic administration of interleukin-2 (IL-2) has been demonstrated in several experimental tumors. We previously reported that guinea pigs with palpable tumors and regional micrometastases could be cured by intratumoral injections of polyethylene glycol-modified IL-2 (PEG-IL-2). In the present study this treatment schedule was applied i...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for head and neck cancers.
A general review of the therapeutic experience of the management of carcinoma of the head and neck at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary is presented. Early lesions are highly curable by radiation therapy alone; the advanced lesions are preferably treated by combined irradiation and surgery, with improved survival rates. Concepts of various approaches are...
متن کامل[Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer].
Radiation therapy is the first choice of treatment for most of the early squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Conventional radiotherapy however, contributes to the high local control rates only for carcinoma of the glottic larynx and the nasopharynx. Squamous cell carcinoma of the other sites cannot be sterilized easily only by external beam radiation therapy alone. Chemoradiotherapy, ...
