Objective:
The aim of this study was to develop an alternative treatment approach using lingual artery chemoembolization for certain tongue carcinomas.
Study Design:
Fifty-three lingual artery, postmortem, cast human specimens were studied. Seventy-eight patients with tongue carcinoma were chemoembolized with Car-platinum microcapsules.
Results:
The deposition of the microcapsule embolism was approximately at the fifth- to the sixth-branch level of the deep lingual artery. The results complied with the anatomy, and the clinical outcomes were effective.
Conclusions:
Lingual artery chemoembolization showed efficacy for curing carcinoma in the midmargin and midbody areas of the tongue, within the limitations of this study.
