[A case of submandibular gland cancer in elderly patients showed significant effect by S-1 and intravenous docetaxel chemotherapy concurrent with radiotherapy].
An elderly case of with advanced head and neck cancer treated by intravenous infusion chemotherapy with weekly docetaxel( DOC)and concurrent radiotherapy was reported. The patient was a 77-year-old man. Clinical diagnosis was submandibular gland carcinoma. He was treated by intravenous infusion chemotherapy with weekly DOC and concurrent radiotherapy (total dose 66 Gy). Two months after irradiation, PET-CT showed a partial response (PR). Therefore, chemotherapy of S-1 (80 mg/day) for 2 weeks every 3 weeks was performed. Two months after the end of chemotherapy, PET-CT showed a complete response(CR). This therapy is effective for the treatment of advanced head and neck cancers for elderly inoperable patients.
