title: Combination chemotherapy for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
abstract: Fifteen patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were treated with the six-drug Price-Hill regimen (vincristine, bleomycin, methotrexate, hydrocortisone, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin). Only two partial remissions were obtained, and the regimen produced moderate toxicity. Our results are not as favorable as those of Price and Hill.
