Abstract:
:A total of 37 men with epidermoid head and neck cancer whose disease had recurred following primary treatment (surgery and/or radiotherapy) received first-line chemotherapy with ifosfamide at i.v. doses of 3 g/m2 given daily on 3 consecutive days in combination with mesna (600 mg/m2 x 3 oral daily doses on days 1-3) every 3 weeks. In all, 7 patients showed a partial response and 2 patients achieved a complete response, for an overall objective response rate of 26% (9 of 35 eligible patients; 95% confidence interval, 12.5%-43%). Excluding the 5 early nontoxic deaths observed during the first 3 weeks of therapy, the objective response rate was 30% (9 of 30 patients; 95% confidence interval, 15%-49.5%). Responses were seen in lung metastases (2 patients), lymph nodes (2 patients), skin (3 patients), and cases of local recurrence (5 patients). The median duration of responses was 3 months (range, 2-5 months). The main side effects of ifosfamide were alopecia (83% of patients), emesis (80%), granulocytopenia (23%), and mild mucositis (20%). Two poor-risk patients suffered severe CNS complications that were probably related to treatment. Three patients died due to chemotherapy-related complications (2 patients with CNS toxicity and 1 patient with granulocytopenic sepsis). In conclusion, ifosfamide appears to be an active drug in epidermoid head and neck cancer and merits further evaluation in this disease.
