| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neck lymph node metastasis is the most significant prognostic factor of head and neck cancer. According to the Sentinel theory, metastatic lymph nodes are directly connected with primary tumors via lymphatic canals. Lymphatic chemotherapy is defined as chemotherapy using lymphatic canals between metastatic lymph nodes and primary tumors. As an ultimate cancer treatment which is both highly effective and noninvasive, the current study is to establish a novel lymphatic chemotherapy targeting metastatic lymph nodes in patients with head and neck cancer using anti-cancer drugs combined with micelle. The ICG fluorescence imaging effectively reveals the lymphatic vessels to the metastatic lymph nodes in real time.
We have evaluated the usefulness of lymphatic chemotherapy targeting neck metastases in patients with head and neck cancer by measuring CDDP concentrations in metastatic lymph nodes and pathological effects
