[Results of polychemotherapy in the advanced stages of cervico-facial tumors].

An association of cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil and methotrexate already employed with success against solid tumours in other sites was used in the treatment of 62 patients with advanced tumours of the head and neck. Complete (40.32%) and partial (43.55%) regressions were obtained relatively quickly. A satisfactory period of remission occurred in patients for whom no further treatment had seemed possible, either on account of the extent of the disease, or because surgery and/or radiotherapy had already been performed.

[Current status of chemotherapy of tumors of the head and neck].

The literature regarding chemotherapy of cervico-facial tumours is reviewed. Owing to its modest, short-lived results intra-arterial treatment has been largely abandoned even in the case of serious complications. It is only used in selected cases as a preparation for subsequent surgical and/or radiation therapy. General, one-drug cytostatic therapy has been given fair results with objective remissions varying from 7.5 to 58%. In recent years polychemotherapy has proved more effective with remissions of from 30 to 80%. There are too few data on the polychemotherapy-immunotherapy association to draw valid conclusions.
