Abstract
Preliminary results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of combined treatment of 116 patients with morphologically verified squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx II-IV (T2-4N0-2M0) stages of the tumor process for the period from 2006 to 2017 are presented in the article. Patients of the study group (n=20) underwent 2 courses neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to the scheme: docetaxel + cisplatin, followed by radiotherapy in the mode of multifraction of a dose of 1,3 Gy 2 times a day and surgical treatment (according to indications). Patients included in the comparison group (n=96) underwent 2 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to the scheme: paclitaxel + carboplatin, followed by radiotherapy in the mode of multifractionation of a dose of 1,3 Gy 2 times a day and surgical treatment (according to indications). The overall effectiveness of the treatment in the study group was 90,3 ± 3,1% (complete regression - 49,4 ± 4,0%, partial regression - 40,9 ± 5,2%), in the comparison group - 81,3 ± 4,0% (complete regression - 34,4 ± 4,8%, partial regression - 46,9 ± 5,1%). Differences between groups are statistically significant (p = 0,001).
