Cisplatin, fluorouracil, and docetaxel in unresectable head and neck cancer
Article Abstract:
A comparison study results from docetaxel plus cisplatin and fluorouracil (TPF) and cisplatin plus fluorouracil (PF) as induction chemotherapy in patients with locoregionally (head and neck) advanced, unresectable disease is presented. The results show that induction chemotherapy with a combination of docetaxel plus the standard regimen of cisplatin and fluorouracil (TPF) is superior to the standard induction chemotherapy.
