Sixty-one patients were treated with a three course induction regimen of 5-fluorouracil and cis-platinum for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck area. Thirty-three patients (54 percent) had complete clinical remission with the administration of these drugs. Twenty-four patients (39 percent) showed a 50 percent or greater reduction in tumor size, for a significant response rate of 93 percent. The toxicities were within acceptable limits, and only three patients did not complete all three courses. Surgery and radiation therapy were supposed to follow the chemotherapy but several patients refused surgery after the disappearance of their lesion. This has created a problem in patient management.
