title: Chemoembolization of tongue carcinoma with ethylcellulose microcapsuled carboplatinum and its basic study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  By using lingual artery chemoembolization on the basis of detailed basic studies to search an additional way for treatment of certain tongue carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Study of lingual artery cast specimens in post-mortem human was processed. Patients with tongue carcinoma were chemoembolized with Carboplatinum microcapsules.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Microcapsule embolism located approximately at the fifth to the sixth branches level of deep lingual artery. Effective clinical outcomes complied with the anatomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Lingual artery chemoembolization with microcapsuled Carboplatinum of 214.0 +/- 48.0 microm showed nice efficacy in therapy of mid-tongue carcinoma.
