| Popis: | Summary Background Cisplatin dosed every 3 weeks (CIS) or weekly cetuximab (CTX) concurrent with radiotherapy are standards of care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNC). Retrospective comparisons of CIS and CTX have offered mixed conclusions. We compared outcomes between CIS and CTX in this patient population. Methods Between January 2006 and December 2011, we identified 279 patients who underwent definitive radiotherapy and concurrent systemic therapy for LAHNC. The median age difference between the CIS and CTX groups was relatively small (58 vs. 62 years, respectively) and CIS patients had a slightly higher rate of N2 disease than CTX patients (74% vs. 61%, respectively). Results Median follow-up was 27 months. Systemic therapy consisted of CIS in 241 (86.4%) and CTX in 38 (13.6%). Actuarial locoregional control of the CIS and CTX groups at 2 years were 91% and 90% ( p = 0.74), respectively. Actuarial 2 year distant metastasis rates between the groups were 8% and 12%, respectively ( p = 0.55), and actuarial 2 year overall survival between the groups were 87% and 89%, respectively ( p = 0.47). Conclusions We found no difference in locoregional control, distant metastasis rate, or overall survival between patients treated with concurrent CIS or CTX. |
