However, the long-term results are unsatisfactory. Induction chemotherapy (ICT) with docetaxel/cisplatin/5-fluorouracil (TPF) is associated with hematologic toxicity, and a safer therapy with comparable efficacy is desired. We conducted a pilot study to investigate the efficacy and safety of 5-fluorouracil/cisplatin/cetuximab (FPE) therapy as a candidate regimen for ICT in comparison with TPF.
Patients and methods: Patients with stage cN2/3 LA-SCCHN of the larynx/oropharynx/hypopharynx were treated with FPE or TPF followed by radiotherapy. We reviewed patients' medical records and evaluated treatment efficacy and safety retrospectively.
Results: The response rates for ICT and ICT-radiotherapy were 71% and 93%, respectively, in the FPE group and 90% and 89%, respectively, in the TPF group. The 1-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 57% and 100%, respectively, in the FPE group and 70% and 90%, respectively, in the TPF group. TPF was linked to significantly higher rates of Grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity during ICT. The rates of Grade 3 or higher toxicity did not differ between the two groups during radiotherapy.
Conclusion: The efficacy of ICT was comparable between the FPE and TPF groups, whereas FPE was associated with less toxicity. It is suggested that FPE therapy is an alternative ICT regimen to TPF therapy, but further long-term follow-up is needed.抄録：英語フィールド
