One hundred seventeen patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were treated and placed randomly between two combination protocols, one with adriamycin and the other without. Responses (more than 50% tumor regression) were 67% overall with 63% responding to the combination without adriamycin and 82% responding to the protocol containing it. The increase in the response rate seen with the addition of adriamycin was not statistically significant. The degree of response to chemotherapy was reduced by prior radiotherapy.
