Although the efficacy of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-Fluorouracil (TPF) as induction chemotherapy has been confirmed, the therapeutic outcome and prognostic factors of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) should be investigated.Laboratory data of patients who underwent CCRT for advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck were investigated to clarify the grade of side effects. Survival rates and prognostic scores were also calculated. Multivariate analysis was performed to examine the prognostic factors of the patients.Although there were significantly more advanced cases in the TPF group (n=72) than those in the cisplatin group (n=50), there were no significant differences in patient survival rates. In the TPF group, the lymphocyte count, albumin level, and C-reactive protein level of the patients before treatment were significantly correlated with patient outcomes.CCRT using the TPF regimen had remarkable treatment effects in advanced head and neck cancer. |
