摘要: A phase II trial of gemcitabine(Gemzar®), a nucleoside analogue with broadactivity in solid tumors, was performed inpatients recurrent or metastaticsquamous cell carcinoma the head andneck. total 26 eligible patients wereregistered to receive dose of1250 mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks,followed by 1 week rest. Toxicity wasevaluable patients. Nausea andvomiting occured 11 and 6 patients,repectively. Grade 4 hematologictoxicities were infrequent. Two patientsdeveloped neutropenic infections. Onepatient developed fatal liver failure whichwas thought due progressive livermetastases infection 14 days after asingle gemcitabine. There noobjective treatment responses (95% CI0–13%), median survival monthsin this highly resistant diseasepopulation. Gemcitabine is not consideredactive enough as monotherapy furtherevaluation disease population.
