AIMS AND BACKGROUND: Sixty-three patients with local-regionally advanced breast cancer were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel (Taxotere), epirubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (TEF). METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: Preoperatively, patients received four cycles of Taxotere (80 mg/m2), epirubicin (60 mg/m2), and 5-fluorouracil (500 mg/m2), repeated every 21 days. Following completion of four cycles of chemotherapy, appropriate surgery was performed. After the surgery, patients received one cycle of the TEF chemotherapy regimen; following chemotherapy, radiotherapy was applied, and at the end two more cycles of TEF chemotherapy regimen were given. RESULTS: Sixty-three patients with locally advanced breast cancer were treated. Three patients were excluded from the study before the evaluation of response. Median age of the patients was 50 years (range, 25-77). Twenty-seven and 33 patients were premenopausal and postmenopausal, respectively. Thirty-nine patients were in stage IIIA and 21 in stage IIIB. Complete and partial responses were observed in 15 (25%) and 42 (70%) of the patients following four cycles of preoperative TEF chemotherapy regimen, respectively. Overall response was 95%, and primary lesion progressed only in 3 (5%) patients. The mean disease-free survival was 15.9 +/- 6.8 (range, 3.5-28) months and the mean overall survival was 18.6 +/- 7.2 (range, 5-30) months. The most frequent side effects were nausea-vomiting, mucositis, alopecia and leukopenia. CONCLUSIONS: TEF therapy is a treatment with a high overall response rate and toxicities similar to other taxotere combinations. A longer follow-up of patients is necessary for the determination of disease-free survival and overall survival.

AIM AND BACKGROUND: To evaluate feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NA-CT) followed by CT + radiotherapy (RT) in locally advanced or unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS: 22 HNSCC patients were enrolled (18 males, 4 females; median age, 59.5 years; median ECOG PS, 1). Sites of disease: oral cavity, 18.2%; oropharynx, 40.9%; hypopharynx, 18.2%; larynx, 4.6%, multiple sites, 18.2%. T (tumor) category: T2, 13.6%; T3, 31.8%; T4, 54.5%. N (nodes) category: NO, 9.1%; N1, 18.1%; N2, 40.9%; N3, 31.8%. Stage: III, 4.6%; IVA, 63.6%; IVB, 31.8%. Induction carboplatin (AUC = 6) and paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) x 3 cycles (q21 days) were given. Responders received definitive radiotherapy with concurrent carboplatin (35 mg/m2/day from days 1 to 5 in weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7) and paclitaxel (50 mg/m2 on days 10, 24 and 38). Patients with node involvement were suggested to undergo postradiotherapy neck dissection. RESULTS: NA-CT. 97% of planned chemotherapy cycles were administered. Prevalent toxicity was hematologic: 50% G4 neutropenia and 31.8% G3, one neutropenic fever. All patients had alopecia. Complete responses in T and N were 4 (18.2%) and 3 (15%), respectively. Partial responses were 13(59%) and 9 (45%). There was 1 progressive disease. CT + RT. 79.9% of planned cycles of CT were administered. In 19 patients (86.4%) more than 50% of planned cycles of CT were completed. Median dose of RT was 70.2 Gy on T/N+ and 54 Gy on NO. Limiting toxicity was mucositis in 77.3%, followed by neutropenia (59.1% G3-G4). Median weight loss was 4.9%.18.2% of patients required hospitalization. Complete responses in T and N were 15 (68.1%) and 8 (40%), respectively. Partial responses were 5 (22.7%) and 7 (35%). CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary results of this study are encouraging, despite the toxicity. Adequate follow-up is required to evaluate efficacy in terms of local-regional control and overall survival.

INTRODUCTION: We report an observation of Kimura's disease (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) in a Black patient from West Indies, in a rare localisation on hard palate. EXEGESIS: A 46-year-old male patient from French West Indies (Martinique) presented with a tumor of hard palate evolving from 2 years with locoregional lymph nodes. He had a history of chronic urticaria, prurigo, rhinitis and alopecia areata. Pathological examination of the tumor was consistent with the diagnosis of Kimura's disease. Blood tests showed hypereosinophilia, elevation of IgG and IgE. The serology of Toxocara canis with Western blott was positive. Corticosteroid therapy (0.7 mg/kg/d) and albendazole (800 mg/d) allowed regression of the tumor, lymph nodes, and urticaria. The remaining tumor was surgically excised. CONCLUSION: Kimura's disease was first described in Japanese young men, between 20 and 40 years old, with subcutaneous nodules on head and neck area. Involvement of oral mucosa is rare, and the occurence in West Indian patients has been rarely reported.
