[The clinical application and evaluation of combined chemotherapy in comprehensive treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma].
OBJECTIVE
To study and evaluate the clinical effects of combined preoperative chemotherapy and their relations with multi drug resistance (MDR).


METHODS
102 cases with oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) were included in the study (63 males and 39 females, aged 22 to 67 years). Among the subjects there were 57 cases with cancer of tongue and 45 cases with cancer of buccal mucosa. 27 cases in the group were classified as stage II, 55 as stage III and 20 cases as stage IV according to TNM standard. All cases accepted PYM + 5-Fu + DDP combined chemotherapy pre-operatively. The total given dose was PYM 48 mg, 5-Fu 7.5 g and DDP 300 mg. After the chemotherapy, radical surgery were performed within 2 weeks. The diagnosis of all cases were proved as OSCC by biopsy.


RESULTS
Total effective rate of the combined chemotherapy was 82.4%. All of the cases were followed up and their 3 years' survival rate was 67.6%.


CONCLUSIONS
The combined chemotherapy of PYM + 5-Fu + DDP is effective in using as one of comprehensive treatment for OSCC.
