Abstract
To compare the outcomes of four cisplatin-based radiochemotherapy regimens in 311 patients with Stage III/IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Concurrent chemotherapy consisted of three courses of cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) on Day 1 (Group A, n = 74), two courses of cisplatin 20 mg/m(2) on Days 1-5 plus 5-fluorouracil 1,000 mg/m(2) on Days 1-5 (Group B, n = 49), two courses of cisplatin 20 mg/m(2) on Days 1-5 plus 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m(2) on Days 1-5 (Group C, n = 102), or two courses of cisplatin 20 mg/m(2) on Days 1-5 (Group D, n = 86). The groups were retrospectively compared for toxicity and outcomes, and 11 additional factors were evaluated for outcomes. No significant difference was observed among the groups regarding radiation-related acute oral mucositis and radiation-related late toxicities. Acute Grade 3 skin toxicity was significantly more frequent in Group B than in the patients of the other three groups (p = .013). The chemotherapy-related Grade 3 nausea/vomiting rate was 24% for Group A, 8% for Group B, 9% for Group C, and 6% for Group D (p = .003). The corresponding Grade 3 nephrotoxicity rates were 8%, 1%, 2%, and 1% (p = .019). The corresponding Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicity rates were 35%, 41%, 19%, ...Continue Reading
