Popis: Squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx and lateral epilarynx (HLESCC) is a disease that is usualy diagnosed at a very advanced stage and, as a result, carries a very poor prognosis. In 1986 we initiated a prospective randomized trial to determine the effect of induction chemotherapy on local control, overall survival, and organ preservation in responders.
