Induction chemotherapy in head and neck cancer: a new paradigm.

Abstract:

:Five hundred and fifty thousand new head and neck cancer cases are diagnosed each year worldwide. They are mostly locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma with a poor prognosis in terms of locoregional and distant failure. A major challenge for patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma is to achieve a high cure rate while preserving functions. Treatment strategies are designed according to the disease stage, primary site, operable status, patient age, and performance status. Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and more recently molecular-targeted therapies are part of these strategies, but their sequence remains to be defined. Over the last 30 years, induction chemotherapy has attained an important position in the management of patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma, particularly since the introduction of taxanes. The decision to deliver induction chemotherapy (and its intensification) must be considered in the light of other treatments aiming at better locoregional control (normofractioned radiotherapy, accelerated or hyperfractionated radiotherapy, addition of concurrent chemotherapy, or of targeted therapy) with or without adjuvant treatment. This review summarizes the rationale, these data, and perspectives on induction chemotherapy-based strategies.
