Once-a-week vs once-every-3-weeks cisplatin chemoradiation for locally advanced head and neck cancer: A phase III randomized noninferiority trial
Journal of Clinical Oncology Feb 17, 2018
Noronha V, et al. - In this phase III randomized trial, cisplatin (30 mg/m2) given once a week was assessed in comparison with cisplatin (100 mg/m2) given once every 3 weeks, both of which were administered concurrently with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer (LAHNSCC). Once every 3 week cisplatin at 100 mg/m2 was superior in terms of locoregional control (LRC), albeit more toxicity, compared to once a week cisplatin at 30 mg/m2, and thus should remain the preferred chemoradiotherapy regimen for LAHNSCC in the adjuvant setting.
