Figure 10. A series of tumors, before and after implantation and the final results. Patient 1: NV-SCC arising in the medial wall (columella) and treated with fully interstitial implant (A) with complete response, mild acute mucosal and skin toxicity (B) and excellent midterm (3 months) cosmetic results (C); Patient 2: Recurrent NV-SCC with an extensive skin invasion after multiple surgeries (D), treated with a mixed implant (1 endocavitary catheter) (E). IRT confirms an impressive ability to preserve the nasal framework while obtaining complete response (F); Patient 3: NV-SCC arising in the lateral wall (G) is treated with mixed implant (H) with complete response and satisfying cosmetic results at two months (I and J). NV-SCC: Nasal vestibule squamous cell carcinoma; IRT: interventional radiotherapy.
