Chemoembolization of Tongue Carcinoma with Ethylcellulose Microcapsuled Carboplatinum and its Basic Study

Abstract

Objective: By using lingual artery chemoembolization on the basis of detailed basic studies to search an additional way for treatment of certain tongue carcinoma. Methods: Study of lingual artery cast specimens in post-mortem human was processed. Patients with tongue carcinoma were chemoembolized with Carboplatinum microcapsules. Results: Microcapsule embolism located approximately at the fifth to the sixth branches level of deep lingual artery. Effective clinical outcomes complied with the anatomy. Conclusion: Lingual artery chemoembolization with microcapsuled Carboplatinum of 214.0 ± 48.0 μm showed nice efficacy in therapy of mid-tongue carcinoma.
