## Abstract ## Background. Although metaβanalysis showed that survival improved with concurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced head and neck cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is still unique, because it renders curative surgery feasible for marginally resectable head and neck cancer patients.
In a series of three consecutive pilot studies carried out between 1977 and 1981 at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, designed to test the feasibility of multimodality therapy in patients with previously untreated advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, patients received thre
