    Abstract:
    Prognosis in cancer of the upper respiratory-digestive tract (URDT) is dominated by the importance of local and regional spread, of second localizations or metastases and of any underlying clinical condition. Stable results are obtained using local and regional treatment (surgery and/or chemotherapy) alone, and the use of chemotherapy has been evaluated since 1965, neo-adjuvant cancer chemotherapy being adapted in 1970 for cancer of URDT. From november 1982 to december 1983, 184 patients with epidermoid cancer of URDT were treated by combined therapy with Cisplatin, 5 Fluoro-uracil, Bleomycin as a continuous infusion. Results are presented of the different tumoral responses as a function of localization and stage, excluding any glandular responses.
