Influence of a dosing-time on toxicities induced by docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma; a cross-over pilot study.

Docetaxel, cisplatin plus fluorouracil (DCF) regimen is a useful chemotherapy, but is sometimes withdrawn due to severe adverse effects (AE). In this study, we examined whether the chronotherapy of DCF regimen could reduce the drugs-induced toxicities in clinical practice. Patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled.
