Braquiterapia en el cáncer de labio

Abstract

El cáncer de labio es de los más prevalentes entre los tumores cutáneos de cabeza y cuello. Las características del tumor, por su crecimiento exofítico en una zona de fácil acceso visual, permite un diagnóstico en estadios incipientes y, por tanto, un mejor pronóstico con los actuales tratamientos. En estadios iniciales se puede realizar tratamiento con cirugía o braquiterapia, siendo los resultados similares en cuanto al control local; sin embargo la braquiterapia ofrece mejores resultados estéticos y funcionales. Presentamos un trabajo de revisión bibliográfica al respecto de de las indicaciones, técnicas y resultados de la braquiterapia en el cáncer de labio.

Lip cancer is one of the most prevalent skin tumours of the head and neck. The characteristics of the tumour relate to their exophyitic growth in an area of easy visual acces which allows their diagnosis in early stages. As a result, there is a better prognosis with the present treatments. In early stages the treatment can be performed by surgery or by brachytherapy, and the results are similar on local control; nevertheless brachytherapy offers the best functional and esthetic results. We are reporting on a review of the literature in relation to indications, techniques and results of brachytherapy for lip cancer.
