Intensity-modified brachytherapy (IMBT) offers a promising treatment for advanced head and neck cancers invading the orbit and skull base. A case report shows no recurrence after 1 year using IMBT for advanced eye socket cancer.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiation Oncology
Ophthalmology

Background:

Advanced head and neck cancers invading the orbit and skull base present complex treatment challenges.
Multimodal, interdisciplinary approaches are crucial for managing these difficult-to-treat malignancies.
Intensity-modified brachytherapy (IMBT) is an emerging technique for localized tumor control.

Observation:

A case of recurrent squamous cell carcinoma at the medial canthus of the left eye, previously treated with surgery and external beam radiotherapy, is presented.
The patient underwent tumor resection with eye preservation, catheter implantation, and reconstruction.
The patient received 30 Gy of intensity-modified brachytherapy (IMBT).

Findings:

The patient exhibited no evidence of locoregional recurrence at the 1-year follow-up.

This case demonstrates the feasibility and potential efficacy of IMBT in managing advanced orbital and skull base cancers.

Successful eye preservation was achieved alongside tumor control.

Implications:

IMBT represents a viable and promising therapeutic option for select patients with advanced head and neck cancers involving the orbit and skull base.
This interdisciplinary approach may improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with challenging oncological conditions.
Further research and case studies are warranted to establish the role of IMBT in this patient population.
