Combined intraarterial chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery for advanced squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

From 1973 to 1978, 20 patients with T3 and T4 squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were treated according to a triple-therapy protocol at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center. Intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) with bleomycin and methotrexate was given prior to high-dose preoperative radiation therapy and then, when possible, the lesion was resected. The treatment results are presented.
