چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel, cisplatin/5-fluorouracil (TPF) induction chemotherapy and concomitant immunochemoradiotherapy with cetuximab and cisplatin in unresectable head and neck carcinoma. METHODS Treatment consisted of TPF induction chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m(2) day 2; cisplatin, 75 mg/m(2) day 2; and 5-fluorouracil 750 mg/m(2) days 1-4; 4 cycles), followed by radiotherapy (RT) and concomitant weekly cetuximab, (250 mg/m(2), after a loading dose of 400 mg/m(2)) and cisplatin (30 mg/m(2)). RESULTS Twenty-five of 30 patients completed 4 cycles of induction chemotherapy. Six or more concomitant infusions of cisplatin and cetuximab were administered in 13 of 25 and 18 of 25 patients, respectively. The 2-year locoregional control, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were 47%, 47%, and 50%, respectively. Patients with grade ≥ 2 skin reaction to cetuximab had a superior outcome. CONCLUSION The tested regimen was effective; however, cetuximab and low-dose cisplatin after induction TPF increased the treatment toxicity. A grade ≥ 2 skin rash correlated with improved efficacy.

Objective: This phase III randomized trial was designed to assess feasibility (on the basis of efficacy and toxicity) of induction docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) followed by CT/RT versus concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CT/ RT) alone in patients with unresectable locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SSCHN). Patients and Methods: Sixty patients were random...

We previously reported that nab-paclitaxel-based induction chemotherapy (IC) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy resulted in low relapse rates (13%) and excellent survival in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We compare the disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) between patients given nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil with cetuximab (APF-C) and historical ...

BACKGROUND Phase 2 studies suggest that the standard regimen of cisplatin and fluorouracil (PF) plus docetaxel (TPF) improves outcomes in squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck. We compared TPF with PF as induction chemotherapy in patients with locoregionally advanced, unresectable disease. METHODS We randomly assigned eligible patients between the ages of 18 and 70 years who had stage ...

BACKGROUND Trial TAX 324 showed that induction chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) compared with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (PF) followed by chemoradiation increases survival and time to progression in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN). METHODS A Markov model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of induction chemotherapy with doceta...
