Abstract

Head neck cancer (HNC) is generally treated with a multimodality approach. Loco-regional-distant control is often worst, due to the advantage stage disease at diagnosis and the optimal treatment option remains an unresolved issue. Metronomic chemotherapy (MCHT) is an emerging therapeutic option in clinical oncology and it may prove useful in HNC patients.

Keywords: Head neck cancer; Low dose; Metronomic chemotherapy; Recurrence; Survival; Treatment.
