Abstract
Fourteen patients with advanced salivary gland malignancies were treated with combination chemotherapy. Five of 13 patients responded to cyclophosphamide and adriamycin and two patients in the responding groups underwent further potentially curable treatment, rendering them disease-free. Three patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma failed to respond to this regimen, but two of three patients treated with a combination of cisplatinum, bleomycin and methotrexate responded. The potential role for chemotherapy in the treatment of salivary gland malignancies is discussed.Entities:
