Organ preservation following radiation therapy and concurrent intra-arterial low dose cisplatin infusion for advanced T2 and T3 laryngeal cancer: Long-term clinical results from a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This pilot study evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients with advanced T2 or T3 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx (SCC-L) who were treated with selective intra-arterial cisplatin and concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT).

Methods

We retrospectively investigated the data of 49 patients with advanced T2 or T3 SCC-L who received a RADPLAT regimen with low-dose cisplatin.

Results

The 5-year locoregional control, disease-specific survival, and overall survival rates were 83.3%, 88.1%, and 82.6%, respectively, while the 5-year freedom from laryngectomy, laryngectomy-free survival, and laryngo-esophageal dysfunction-free survival rates were 89.6%, 79.4%, and 77.1%, respectively. The incidences of grade 3-4 hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities were 18% a
