ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To systematically review the efficacy and safety of taxane, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (Tax-PF) as induction chemotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer.@*METHOD@#Literature about the efficacy and safety of Taxane-cisplatin-fluorouracil as induction chemotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer was retrieved from digital databases of PubMed, Embase, SpringerLink, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library before February 2015. Data extraction and quality assessment of included studies were conducted by two reviewers independently. Stata 13.0 was then used to perform Meta-analysis.@*RESULT@#A total 7 randomized controlled trials involving 2,702 were included. The 3-year OS rate [HR = 1.14, 95% CI (1.03, 1.25), P < 0.01], 3-year PFS rate [HR = 1.24, 95% CI (1.08, 1.43), P < 0.01], 5-year OS rate [HR = 1.30, 95% CI (1.09, 1. 55), P < 0. 01], 5-year PFS rate [HR = 1.39, 95% CI (1.14, 1.70), P < 0.01] and ORR to chemotherapy [OR = 1.66, 95% CI (1.35, 2.05), P < 0.01] of the patients in the Tax-PF group were statistically superior to those in the PF group. In terms of toxicities, the incidence of febrile neutropenia [OR = 2.36, 95% CI (1.62, 3.46), P < 0.01], alopecia [OR = 8.22, 95% CI (3.99, 16.92), P < 0.01], diarrhea [OR = 1.57, 95% CI (1.05, 2.36), P< 0.05] and leucopenia [OR = 2.79, 95% CI (1.86, 4.21), P < 0.01] was higher in the Tax-PF group than that in the PF group.@*CONCLUSION@#The Tax-PF induction chemotherapy improved PFS and OS, and the ORR was better as compared to PF-based therapy regimens at the cost of a higher incidence of adverse events.
