[The use of nuclear medicine methods for the control of regional cytostatic therapy of neoplasms in the orofacial region].
Complementary to the well-known clinical, radiographic, histologic and biochemical methods for the control of the regional cytostatic chemotherapy of malignant tumours in the orofacial region, the authors describe by help of a case report the possible uses of nuclear-medical methods of examination. The following nuclear-medical methods of examination were employed: 1. bone scintigraphy, 2. perfusion scintigraphy, 3. tumour scintigraphy. The advantages of nuclear-medical methods consist in the relatively low load to which the patient is subjected and in the possibility of assessing qualitatively and quantitatively (in combination with current control methods) the distribution of the perfused chemotherapeutic agent and of evaluating the therapeutical success.
