Abstract:
Because of the poor results of standard therapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancers, chemotherapy is increasingly used to improve the outcome of these patients. In resectable disease, chemotherapy is being investigated before definitive treatments, after surgery, concurrent with postoperative radiotherapy, after radiotherapy, and for possible laryngeal salvage. In unresectable cancers, chemotherapy before, concurrent with, and following radiotherapy is being investigated.
