[Clinical effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (hyperfractionation and cisplatin/5-fluorouracil) for patients with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma].

Six patients with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma were treated with preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Chemotherapy consisting of CDDP(60 to 70 mg/m(2), day 1)and 5-FU(600 to 700 mg/m(2), day 1 to 5)with concurrent radiotherapy was accelerated hyperfractionation to target volume of 43-63 Gy. The clinical effect of this therapy on the primary tumor and cervical lymph node was examined in patients who visited our university hospital from 1994 to 2004.
