Abstract :
[en] In a cohort of head and neck cancer patients a neoadjuvant chemotherapy confered a major response in 70% of cases. Results of irradiation at full dose varied according to the degree of chemotherapy response. A mathematical model of radiotherapy complete clearance of disease was derived retrospectively and could be validated prospectively. Selection of exclusevely radiocurable cases might be done by such a procedure.
