In late years a method you put radiation therapy and scientific medical treatment together for results improvement of the radiation therapy, and to take is tried.
At first this medical treatment performs chemotherapy and performs radiation therapy in the back.
There are NAC (Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy) for the purpose of the treatment of the microscopic remote metastasis lesion or chemotherapy and CCR (Concurrent Chemotherapy / scientific radiation simultaneous medical treatment) performing radiotherapy at the same time according to the reduction of the tumor by the treatment.
What it is meta analysis (it is the technique that you unify plural clinical experiment data performed independently in the past, and collects the statistics) as for the radiation therapy to perform after microscopic remote metastasis lesion treatment (NAC) that the result effect of getting together is negative, and in late years is used almost disappears.
On the other hand, in late years it is adopted, and, as for CCR (scientific radiation simultaneous medical treatment), the effectiveness of the medical treatment is reported to treatment in height of in succession suddenly.
The advantage of the medical treatment has the following at the scientific radiation same time.
(1) Can expect radiotherapy and a synergistic effect of the anticancer agent.
(2) Can make a start of the radiation therapy that is central treatment early.
(3) Can be treated without giving outbreak of the cross-tolerance room.
(4) Can do it by the treatment of a source lesion and the remote lesion at the same time.
By the scientific radiation simultaneous medical treatment that the common point by the report adopted CDDP (the medical treatment that used the cisplatin which was one of the anticancer agents and doxorubicin together) for case of these, a radiation is that the result of a survival rate high more significantly than medical treatment and medicine combination except CDDP is provided alone.
It will seem that the adoption of the medical treatment plays a key role at the science radiation same time to use a platinum drug together at a place of the treatment of progress neck cancer or the neck cancer which recurred in future.
But it will be necessary to examine a method of a chemotherapeutic combination medicine to use and the dosage in future.
