Cisplatin and 5‐fluorouracil for advanced locoregional and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

Abstract

Seven patients with advanced locoregional or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin were treated with cis‐daimminedichloroplatin (cisplatin) and 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). Responses were seen in six of seven patients (three partial responses [PR] and three complete responses [CR]). One patient is alive and disease‐free at 2 years. These results indicate that cisplatin and 5‐FU is an effective combination regimen that should be used in future clinical trials in squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
