Abstract
The local control of advanced tumours of the head and neck continues to be unsatisfactory. Despite all the advances made in the fields of surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy, and combinations of these classic therapeutic modalities, a regional recurrence rate of up to 60% must still be expected (Vikram et al. 1984; van den Bogaert et al. 1985; Horiot et al. 1988; Marcial et al. 1988).
