7 MULTIDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF HEAD AND NECK CANCER Disease Stage Early stage Advanced (resectable) Advanced (nonresectable) Metastatic, recurrent or 60% of presentations Surgery and Radiotherapy Chemotherapy Investigational Curative Palliative

8 NEO-ADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY Potential Advantages Optimal drug delivery (higher doses) Reduction in tumor burden Early treatment of micrometastatic disease Improved treatment tolerance Potential Disadvantages Delay in potentially curative therapy Increased expense and duration of therapy Noncompliance with curative therapy Tumor cell accelerated repopulation Selection of chemo-radiation resistant tumor cells

9 CONCURRENT CHEMOTHERAPY Potential Advantages Added antitumor effect from two modalities Elimination of tumor cell accelerated repopulation Effect on locoregional disease and micrometastatic distant disease Decreased overall treatment time Potential Disadvantages Increased treatment morbidity Interruption of treatment due to toxicity, which may decrease tumor control

Biomarkers are potentially available for some agents, but aside from HPV as a prognostic marker, predictive markers are not ready for prime time Personalized cancer therapeutics are close to becoming a reality in HNC

59 CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION THERAPY IN H&N CANCER: QUESTIONS What are the most reliable prognostic / predictive factors for benefit of combined chemo-radiation? What chemotherapy schema is best, when combined with RT? Are biological modifiers more effective and less toxic? Is hyperfractionated or accelerated radiation fractionation more effective than conventional fractionation? What are optimal schemas of chemotherapy and radiation therapy? Need additional trials on targeted therapies and EGFR inhibitors

61 CHEMO-IRRADIATION IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER Conclusions: Minimal benefit with neoadjuvant chemotherapy Improved local regional tumor control and small benefit in overall survival with concurrent chemo-radiation therapy Increased toxicity with concurrent irradiation and chemotherapy Addition of cetuximab improves outcome, more toxicity Additional clinical trials necessary Amifostine may be helpful in reducing treatment toxicity according to some studies
