[Critical remarks on the chemotherapy of squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx].
The results of chemotherapy for T3 and T4 squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx treated by chemotherapy, surgery and irradiation (n = 19), or by surgery plus irradiation (n = 28) were analysed. The two groups were similar as regards site and extent of the tumour, but the first group had a much worse prognosis. The selection of the patients, the method and results of therapy are described. The probable reasons for the failure of the chemotherapy are discussed.
