Impact of Radiation Dose on Treatment of Maxillary Cancer With Superselective Intra-arterial Cisplatin With Radiotherapy.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM:

Maxillary sinus cancer is a relatively rare disease, and treatment is still evolving. We compared the efficacy of superselective intra-arterial infusion of high-dose cisplatin (CDDP) with concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT) using three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) or intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and analyzed the relationship between the total radiation dose and the treatment outcome in localized maxillary sinus cancer.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

We reviewed the cases of 58 patients with localized maxillary sinus cancer treated with RADPLAT at our institution from March 2004 to November 2020. These 58 patients included 34 who received 3DCRT and 24 who received IMRT.

RESULTS:

The median follow-up period was 38.4 months. The median prescribed dose to the local lesion was 66 Gy in the 3DCRT group and 70 Gy in the IMRT group. CDDP (100-120 mg/m2) was administered once a week for a median of 6 cycles. The 5-year local control rate and overall survival rate were 69.9% and 72.2%, respectively. The patients treated with 70 Gy had a significantly higher local control rate (87.7%) than those treated with 60 Gy or less (41.0%) (p=0.011). No late grade 3 or higher eye disorders except for cataracts developed in the IMRT group, while grade 4 eye disorders occurred in four patients receiving 3DCRT.

CONCLUSION:

IMRT can escalate radiation dose safely with acceptable toxicities. The total dose may have an impact on the local control rate in RADPLAT.
