## Background: Metastatic neck nodes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck are most commonly managed by surgery, radiotherapy, or combined-modality therapy. for combined-modality cases, the sequencing of surgery and radiotherapy is generally guided by which modality is consi

## Abstract ## Background. In locally advanced head and neck cancer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with combined 5βfluorouracil (5βFU) and cisplatin has increased acute toxicities as well as survival. Onceβweekly chemotherapeutic administration schedule may reduce severe toxicities. Thus, we
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of certain genes involved in drug metabolism correlate with survival. ## Methods: We evaluated the presence of SNPs in six genes (__CYP2C8__, __GSTT1__, __GSTP1__, __MDR1β57__, __MDR1β62__, and __ERCC1__) and the respon
## Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and efficacy of hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (hfrcb) combined with simultaneous chemotherapy with weekly cisplatin (cddp) in locally advanced inoperable head and neck cancer. ## Methods: From august 1999 to de
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Qualityβofβlife instruments that measure specific functional consequences of mucositis are needed to assess the efficacy of therapeutic interventions targeted against mucositis and to guide patient care. The authors undertook a prospective, multicenter, observational stu
