Figure 4From: A meta-analysis of hyperfractionated and accelerated radiotherapy and combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens in unresected locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neckDifference of median survival with different drugs used for concomitant radiochemotherapy compared to radiotherapy alone, χ2 = > p-value = 0.04. 5-fluorouracil: studies with simultaneus 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy [18,24,25,38]. Cisplatin: studies with simultaneus cisplatin based chemotherapy [26,27,29,33,34,35,39,40]. Carboplatin: studies with simultaneus carboplatin based chemotherapy [26,30,31,32,36]. Mitomycin C: studies with mitomycin C based chemotherapy [12,30,37]. LCL = 95% lower confidence limit, UCL = 95% upper confidence limit; N = number of patients.Back to article page
