The introduction of induction chemotherapy provides an expectation of laryngeal function preservation without reduction in survival for patients with advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The antitumor activity of conventional intravenous chemotherapy, however, is limited by systemic toxicity. The polymeric drug system delivered locally provides a novel modality of increasing therapeutic concentrations of drug for a prolonged period while decreasing systemic levels. In the current study, paclitaxel-loaded sustained-release microspheres were developed using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) as a drug carrier. Intratumoral administration of paclitaxel in the formulation of polymer showed enhanced efficacy against laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in nude mice compared with conventional paclitaxel injection via the intratumoral or intraperitoneal route. No significant toxic reactions were observed in the experiment. Immunohistochemical findings indicated that paclitaxel exhibited antiangiogenic activity by inhibiting the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor within the tumor. Moreover, this effect could be better exploited via localized delivery of polymeric paclitaxel. In conclusion, direct administration of polymeric drug system at the tumor sites proved to be promising for the treatment of laryngeal carcinoma.
