Abstract

Combination chemotherapy in advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck resulted in objective remission in 5 of 8 patients, with a median duration of 9 months. In 4 patients, the intravenous chemotherapy was supplemented by regional intra-arterial short-time infusion chemotherapy, by which one patient obtained a partial remission and 3 a static disease. The most important results of the methods used were the subjective improvements of the patients. The side-effects were acceptable, and no serious complications were observed.
