Abstract:
The authors report their experience after 15 months of use of an implantable chamber for regional intra-arterial chemotherapy in stomatological cancer. This technique rekindles interest in intra-arterial chemotherapy via a retrograde temporal route, by simplifying the technique. The remarkable local tolerance of implantable chambers makes them preferable to external catheters and suitable for long term intra-arterial chemotherapy.
