Abstract
Fifteen patients with recurrent squamous carcinoma of the head and neck received high-dose cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) (3 g/m2) and cisplatin (100 mg/m2) every 3 weeks in an attempt to explore the dose-dependent synergy between these two agents. A partial response was attained in one patient; there were no complete responses. The major toxicity was myelosuppression. With the current schedule, high-dose ara-C failed to improve the response rate achieved with cisplatin alone.
