An early trial sponsored by the National Cancer Institute of Canada failed to establish a significant difference in locoregional control and overall survival when evaluating 212 patients with larnygeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) treated with 50 Gy in 20 fractions over 28 d or split-course radiotherapy of 25 Gy in 10 fractions over 14 d, followed by a 28-d rest and then 25 Gy in 10 fractions over 14 d beginning on d 43 with mitomycin C (10 mg/m2 on d 1 and 43) in combination with continuous infusion 5-FU (1000 mg/m2/d on d 1-4 and 43-46) (48). Nevertheless, this study suggested that the addition of chemotherapy may overcome the decreased activity of split-course radiotherapy. [Pg.154]

The largest meta-analysis is the Meta-Analysis of Chemotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer (MACH-NC) study evaluating 63 trials with a total of 10,741 patients (Table 2) (69). MACH-NC assessed individual data rather than literature-based data with the inclusion of updated data and unpublished trials. For two-thirds of the trials, individual data were updated to a median follow-up of 6.8 yr. The meta-analysis was subcategorized into locoregional treatment with and without concomitant chemotherapy, induction/adju-vant chemotherapy, and laryngeal preservation with induction chemotherapy rather than definitive treatment for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors. [Pg.161]
