Abstract

This review article summarizes the results of cytostatic treatment for squamous carcinoma of the head and neck region between 1977 and 1980. The cytostatic therapy is not established yet. Dosage and combination of the three most effective drugs: Methotrexate, Bleomycin and Cis-Platinum seems to be of minor importance for the effectivity than selection of patients for prognostic factors. Primary chemotherapy in not pretreated patients with Karnofsky-Index above 60% is most successful.
