口腔颌面头颈部鳞癌超声热化疗中国专家共识

口腔颌面头颈部鳞癌确诊时多为中晚期,单纯化疗难以使晚期患者总生存获益。超声热化疗是常规治疗手段之外,目前发展较快的一种新的针对恶性肿瘤的有效治疗方法。然而,目前超声热化疗在口腔颌面头颈部恶性肿瘤治疗中尚未普及,为推广和规范超声热化疗在此领域的临床实践,特制订口腔颌面头颈部鳞癌超声热化疗专家共识, 以提高患者远期生存率和生活质量。

Chinese expert consensus on ultrasound hyperthermia for oral and maxillofacial head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Most patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancy, especially squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) are in the middle and advanced stages at diagnosis. Chemotherapy alone is difficult to benefit the survival of patients with advanced oral and maxillofacial SCC. Ultrasound hyperthermia is a new and effective treatment for malignant tumor, which is developing rapidly in addition to conventional treatment. However, at present, ultrasound hyperthermia has not been widely used in the treatment of oromaxillofacial head and neck SCC. Therefore, formation of an expert consensus on ultrasound hyperthermia for oromaxillofacial head and neck SCC is mandatory, in order to promote and standardize the clinical practice of ultrasound hyperthermia in this field, and improve the long-term survival rate and quality of life of patients.
