Abstract
Conclusion: Both reservoir systems for intra-arterial cisplatin and intravenous sodium thiosulfate infusions are low- invasive, safe and effective procedures for treatment of advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma. Objectives: To use our reservoir system for intra-arterial high-dose cisplatin infusion therapy in patients with advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Eight patients with advanced maxillary sinus carcinomas underwent treatment utilizing intra-arterial cisplatin (CDDP) infusion and radiation therapy followed by planned surgical resection. For intra-arterial infusion of high-dose cisplatin, both intra-arterial and intravenous reservoir systems were used. Results: CDDP was infused 4–6 times (mean 5.1) and the total dose of CDDP was between 690 and 910 mg (mean 771 mg). The response rate was 100 with 50% CR and 50% PR and all patients underwent medial maxillectomy. Only 1 T<sub>4</sub> patient had local recurrence and 1 other patient had bilateral neck metastasis.
