- W1990147113 abstract "The purpose of the study was to assess response rate, clinical outcome, organ/function preservation and toxicity in head and neck cancer patients treated with induction chemotherapy followed by concomitant chemoradiotherapy and, when necessary, limited surgery. The study design was a phase II non-randomized trial in hospitalized patients setting. The treatment plan consisted of 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with cisplatin, fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin and interferon alpha2b (PFL-IFN) followed by 7 cycles of 5-FU, hydroxyurea and concomitant radiation for 5 days (FHX) for a total radiation dose of 70 Gy. Surgical resection was performed, when necessary, with the intent to spare organ/function. Seventeen patients were treated at one institution. Three patients had stage III and 14 patients stage IV disease. Twelve patients were analyzed for response to PFL-IFN: 2/12 (16.7%) patients achieved a CR and 10/12 (83.3%) achieved a PR for an ORR of 100%. FHX was administered on protocol to 10 patients: 4 patients (40%) had CR, 3 (30%) had PR >/=70% for an ORR of 70%, 1 patient (10%) had SD and 2 patients (20%) had PD. As for local therapy, of the 8 eligible patients who completed chemoradiotherapy, the 3 patients with CR were submitted to random biopsies, results of which were histologically negative, 3 patients with PR >/=70% underwent conservative organ-preserving surgery, and 1 patient with PR >70% refused surgery, whereas the patient with SD underwent salvage surgery, preserving voice. Thus, organ preservation was achieved in all 8 patients at the completion of all therapy: 4 patients had no surgical procedure and 4 patients only conservative surgery. Overall, after completion of all therapy, 5/8 (62.5%) patients were rendered disease-free. The median overall survival time was 23 months, the median duration of response was 6 months and the median time to progression was 9 months. Both induction chemotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy resulted in significant toxicity, which consisted mainly of mucositis and thrombocytopenia. In conclusion, PFL-IFN was very active, producing high ORRs and, followed by FHX, resulted in high overall survival rates permitting an optimal organ preservation, at the cost of a severe toxicity." @default.
