[Two cases of recurrent oral cancer responding to radiochemotherapy with selective intra-arterial infusion of nedaplatin].

Nedaplatin, a cisplatin derivative, has been reported to be an effective anti-tumor agent for head and neck cancer. We experienced two patients with advanced recurrent oral cancers who received combination therapy of intra-arterial nedaplatin infusion and radiation therapy, and tumoricidal effects were obtained in these cases. At the end of 3 courses, a partial response(PR)was obtained with regression of the tumor in the first case, and FDGPET showed a complete regression of recurrent tumor for a complete response(CR)in another case.
