| Description | Although the general response to chemoinduction in Head and Neck Cancer is often reported to be over 80%, statistical studies indicate only decreased incidence of metastases without any effect on the total survival and length of remission. Examination of DNA content of the cell population in the tumnour before starting treatment enables more accurate assessment of the effect of chemotherapy on the cell. population in a tumour. |
