title: [Observation of clinical and pathological responses in short-term following immunochemotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma]
abstract: 24 patients with oral SCC in Stage T3 or T4 were randomly divided into two groups,and treated with two inductive therapies,13 cases of whom received an immumochemotherapy regimen(Sapylin 15 KE+CDDP 70mg/m(2)+VCR 1.4mg/m(2)+PYM 80mg,S-PVP) and 11 cases,a chemotherapy regimen(CDDP 90mg/m(2)+VCR 1.4mg/m(2)+PYM 80mg,PVP) as control.The clinical response and pathological effect after immunochemotherapy or chemotherapy were evaluated through the clinical measurement of tumor size and pathological examination of the specimen.The results showed that the rate of clinical and pathological responses in S-PVP group were 92.3% and 84.6%,respectively;and in PVP group,72.7% and 45.5%.There was a significant difference between two groups in pathological effect(P<0.05),which indicated that the S-PVP regimen in short-term was better than of inductive chemotherapy.It may be relatively objective and accurate in comparison with clinical investigation which could act as an important supplement to the evaluation of clinical response.
