Abstract
Results of chemotherapy in head and neck cancers are reported with a regimen of cisplatinum, bleomycin and methotrexate. In 63 previously untreated patients, the overall response rate was 73%, including 13/63 CR and 33/63 PR. The response rate in 20 previously treated tumors was 20%. The chemotherapy protocol was well tolerated without severe complications. Initial chemotherapy as a third modality in addition to radiotherapy and/or surgery is discussed.Entities:
