Comparison of Low-Dose Platinum vs High-Dose Platinum vs Cetuximab and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy in Advanced Head and Neck Cancers
Giri S, Kankamedhala M, Suggs JM.

Purpose: High-dose cisplatin is standard in head and neck cancers. Recently, weekly low-dose platinum alone or with cetuximab has been used. All patients received 70 Gy standard fraction intensity-modulated radiation therapy. We are comparing the former used at the VAMC with the latter regimens used in the department of Oncology at the University of Mississippi. We will present the toxicity, response, patterns of failure, and survival by the use of the different types of chemotherapy.
