- 1. National Cancer Inst., Bangkok (Thailand)
Description
Between 6 February 1984 to 11 September 1986, 200 cases of cancer of head and neck were randomised into control group (105), i.e. conventional irradiation treatment and trial group (95), i.e. MTX 50 mg. i.v. on day 1 and followed by conventional irradiation. Early complications were tolerable as well as late complications. Good response rate in trial group was significant. One case in trial group developed a second primary. Long term benefit is to be documented. (author). 16 refs, 7 tabs
