Abstract

A 80-year-old male patient, diagnosed advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma was treated by multidisciplinary methods which included continous intra-arterial infusion immunochemotherapy with Lentinan, oral administration of 5'-DFUR, radiation and partial maxillary resection.
He had a good course clinically, histopathologically and immunologically. Seven months after treatment he was free from local recurrence and distant metastasis. However he is still followed up. So, we think that a view of the regional immunocondition will be necessary for the prospective cancer treatment.
