Abstract

A RETROSPECTIVE review of 45 patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated by a combination of initial chemotherpy (Price and Hill Schedule A) followed by radiotherapy is presented. The regime produced excellent immediate palliation with a tumour control of 50 per cent, and a disease-free survival of 33 per cent at one year and 27 per cent at two years. Treatment morbidity was minimal in an aged patient group.
