Abstract
We have studied 37 patients with advanced head and neck cancer. A combination of Cis-Platinum and 5-Fluorouracil, both administered four days continuously as infusion, was assessed. There were 15 complete responses (40.5%), 15 partial responses (40.5%) and the number of objective responses was 30 (81.5%). Survival is 79.1% at 22 months and none of the patients in complete responses has relapsed during this period.
