METHODS: At our Institution, we performed photoimmunotherapy in combination with use of a navigation system on a male patient in his 70s with maxillary gingival carcinoma who had a recurrent lesion deep in the lateral pterygoid muscle. Three months after photoimmunotherapy, the superficial lesion had disappeared, the area of contrast within the lateral pterygoid muscle had improved, and the patient was deemed to have a complete response.
CONCLUSIONS: The Navigation System was successfully used in combination with photoimmunotherapy. Additionally, this allowed the location of the internal carotid artery to be confirmed in real time.
方法:在我们的机构,我们对一名70多岁患有上颌牙龈癌的男性患者进行了光免疫疗法,该患者在翼外肌深处有复发性病变。光免疫疗法三个月后,浅表病变消失了,翼外肌内的对比区域有所改善,患者被认为有完全反应。
结论:导航系统成功地与光免疫疗法结合使用。此外,这允许实时确认颈内动脉的位置。
