In recent years, the superselective intra-arterial rapid infusion chemotherapy is improving good results to various kinds of head and neck cancers, and an effective example has come to be seen also to advance external auditory canal cancer. This department -- before an operation of several years before to external auditory canal cancer -- the superselective intra-arterial rapid infusion chemotherapy is enforced as medical treatment.

The amount of one intra-arterial infusion used was CDDP 100 mg/m2 TXT 20 mg/body. Among three examples, in biopsy into the trap, although surgical margin near a jaw joint package became negativity and permeation in a jaw glenoid cavity was suspected by before an operation, in two examples, it was possible to have preserved a lower jawbone. There are no complications critical during these medical treatments, and it will be non-carcinoma survival as of postoperative 2.
