Addition of Taxotere® to Chemotherapy Helps Preserve Function of Larynx (8 JuLY 2006)

quote:
According to results presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the addition of Taxotere® (docetaxel) to Platinol® (cisplatin) and 5-fluorouracil improves the rate of preservation of the larynx (voice box) in patients with advanced head and neck cancers.
