[Intra-arterial chemotherapy in oral cancers. A current therapy?]

Reviewing arguments based on the pharmacokinetics of arterial infusions, on literature study results, and on their personal experience with 16 patients, the authors present a case for the administration of antitumoral agents by intra-arterial infusion as a method of dispensing induction chemotherapy to stomatological cancer patients. Utilization of implanted sites and discriminating selection of indications will improve the performance of intra-arterial chemotherapy.
