Chemo-selection with docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (TPF) regimen followed by radiation therapy or surgery for pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinoma

ConclusionsWe achieved favorable survival outcomes and high larynx preservation rates. Our results suggest that induction chemotherapy using TPF regimen is one of the optimal treatment strategies when treating head and neck cancers. Further prospective studies with a larger cohort are required to confirm our findings.
