Based on the synergistic action of 5-fluorouracil (5-FUra), cis-dichlorodiamminoplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) and gamma-rays, which was suggested in experiments on murine tumours, a sequential treatment combining irradiation and chemotherapy for human solid tumours known to be resistant to conventional treatments has been developed. A pilot study was carried out on 30 patients with recurring head and neck cancers previously treated by radiotherapy and surgery. The good tolerance and the initial results justified applying this protocol to previously untreated cases. The second study involved 40 patients with stage III and IV tumours. After 3 cycles of combined radio- and chemotherapy followed by a conventional radiotherapy, 78% were good responders (51% in complete remission). Oropharynx and oral cavity, without base of tongue, have a 51% actuarial survival at 3 years when they achieved an early complete remission.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.
