Combined therapy for maxillary sinus cancer (operation, chemotherapy and radiation therapy) is a primary modality. Recently, selective-artery intrafusion of CDDP (cisplatin), 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) by using catheter insertion from the superficial temporal artery has become the prevalent chemotherapy. In this case we performed treatment by administering 10 mg of Docetaxel (TXT) once a week instead of CDDP, 5-FU, and obtained an effective result.
Key words : Docetaxel, selective intra-arterial infusion, chemoradiotherapy
