Résumé
Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas of the head and neck have very poor prognoses. This prospective study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for bone and soft-tissue sarcoma of the head and neck. The present study was a prospective clinical study that included 10 consecutive patients diagnosed with bone and soft-tissue sarcoma of the head and neck who were treated with C-ion RT between 2012 and 2018 at our institution. C-Ion RT consisted of 70.4 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 16 fractions. The 3-year local control, overall survival, and progression-free survival rates for patients overall were 72.9%, 77.8%, and 36%, respectively. The present study demonstrated the efficacy of C-ion RT for bone and soft-tissue sarcoma of the head and neck; adverse events were within the expected range.
