Objective: This work continues a series of our reports about cryogenic treatment of eyelid's epithelial malignant tumours (EMT). The first series were presented on DOG 2005-2006.
Purpose: to minimize the number of destructive and successive reconstructing operations of named tumor.
Methods: We have treated 169 patients with EMT of eyelids at stage T3 between 1990 and 2001. Mean age of patients was 64.6±10.5 SD, median-64.0. Tumor invased the subcutaneous tissue (18.3%), tarsus and conjunctiva (55.7%), eyelids canthus (26.0 %).112(66.3%) patients have primary tumors, 57 (33.7%)-recurranted tumors.The tumor form was: nodular-48(28.4%), ulcerous-109 (64.5%), superficial-12 (7.1%). The maximal tumor’s diameter was: M=21.3±9.1 SD mm, Median-20.0. BCC was in 101 (59.8%) patients; SCC-39 (23.1%), adenocarcinoma-19 (11.2%), metatypical carcinoma-7 (4.1%), sebaceous carcinoma-3 (1.8%). Cryosurgery was combined with three modes of radiotherapy: external X-ray (43.2%), gammatherapy (46.6%), brachytherapy (14.2%). Analysis was carried out in November 2006.
Results: The total tumor’s resorption was achieved in 153 cases (90.5%) after the first course of combined treatment. 16 patients (9.5%) with big sizes of primary tumor (diameter>40 mm) needed the additional session of cryosurgery after 2-3 months.Average follow up was 31.0±31.9 SD months, mediana-24.5. The contact with 8 patients was lost. Recurrences were observed in 15 patients (8.9%) in term from 2 to 5 years. All recurrences were treated by repetitive cryosurgical intervention. The additional reconstructive operations didn’t needed. This combined treatment provides the diminuation the level of total dose of radiotherapy on 30-35%. It permits to avoid the beam complication on skin and eye.
Conclusions: Combined treatment of EMT of eyelid provide good clinic and aesthethic results and could be concerned as the serious alternative to the pure surgical approach.
