Аннотация
Thirty-two patients with locally advanced cancer of oral cavity, oropharynx and hypopharynx were treated with three cycles of platinum-based induction chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After completion of the combined treatment 50% of the patients were in complete response (CR) and 28% in partial response (PR). So far, 24 patients have died. Local progression occurred in 20 patients. Survival is 29% at 24 months. Seven (22%) patients remain alive and have been disease-free for 22-59 months. In conclusion, induction chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy may omit radical surgery, without compromising survival, in some patients with locally advanced cancer of the oral cavity, oropharynx and hypopharynx.
