Combination therapy of advanced head and neck cancer: induction of remissions with diamminedichloroplatinum (II), bleomycin and radiation therapy.
Randolph VL, Vallejo A, Spiro RH, Shah J, Strong EW, Huvos AG, Wittes RE.
Patients with unresectable, previously untreated head and neck cancer were given cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (DDP), 3 mg/kg, with mannitol diuresis (day 1), followed by a continuous infusion of bleomycin, 0.25 mg/kg/day, days 3 through 10, after an initial loading dose of 0.25 mg/kg by rapid IV injection on day 3. The DDP was repeated on day 22, following which radiotherapy was delivered using standard doses, fractionations and portals. Patients were evaluated for response on day 22 and again at the conclusion of radiotherapy. Of 21 patients evaluable at day 22, there were four CR and 11 PR (greater than 50% reduction of all measureable disease), for a major response rate of 71%. Of five MR, four showed 30-60% reduction at the primary site. Of 16 who have finished the radiation phase of treatment, there are six CR, five PR and one MR with durations four to eight months. Toxicity in 33 patients included vomiting (33), alopecia (33), WBC less than 3000 (five), platelets less than 100,000 (one), dose-limiting mucositis during bleomycin (six) and peak serum creatinine greater than 2 (five), with one fatality. The regimen thus appears promising as initial therapy for the previously untreated patient. The same chemotherapy has produced much less encouraging results in prviously treated patients.

Multimodal treatment of advanced testicular tumor with radical reductive surgery and multisequential chemotherapy with cis platinum, bleomycin, vinblastine, vincristine and actinomycin D.
Merrin C, Beckley S, Takita H.
Advanced testicular tumors in 34 patients were treated by combination chemotherapy with bleomycin, vinblastine, vincristine, cis platinum and actinomycin D. The therapy was divided into 3 phases: 1) induction, 2) consolidation and 3) maintenance. Induction lasted 4 weeks and consisted of 420 mg. bleomycin, 0.2 mg./kg. vinblastine, 4 mg./kg. cis platinum, and 20 mg. prednisone daily. Consolidation lasted 6 weeks and consisted of 5 mg. actinomycin D, 6 mg. vincristine and 6 mg./kg. cis platinum. Maintenance therapy was achieved with 2.5 mg. actinomycin D every 6 weeks and 1 mg./kg. cis platinum every 3 weeks. A tumor reductive operation was done before induction of chemotherapy in 13 patients and after induction of chemotherapy in 12 patients. Nine patients were treated with chemotherapy alone. Three patients with brain metastases received concomitant radiotherapy to the brain (3,000 rads). A previous operation and chemotherapy had failed in 11 patients and previous radiotherapy had failed in 1 patient. All patients treated had at least 1 objective response (34 of 34 or 100 per cent). Partial clinical remission was achieved in 7 of 34 patients (21 per cent). A complete clinical remission was observed in 27 of 34 patients (79 per cent) and of this group 6 had a relapse. At present, 22 of 34 patients are free of disease from 4 to 24 months, with an average of 13 months (65 per cent). The toxicity consisted of nausea, vomiting, mucositis, alopecia, mild leukopenia and tinnitus. This approach seems to be effective in producing long clinical remissions in the majority of patients with advanced disease.

Differential patterns of elastic fibers in scarring and non-scarring alopecias.
Pinkus H.
Elastic fiber stain (acid alcoholic orcein) reveals diagnostically significant differences between several types of alopecia of the scalp. A short outline of elastic fiber distribution on the normal hair follicle emphasizes the elastic coat of the follicular isthmus, the sparsity of elastic fibers on the cyclic lower portion of the hair root, and the presence in the neck of the dermal papilla of an elastin-like body which is formed anew with each hair cycle. This body provides a marker of the gradual shortening of successive anagen hairs in male pattern alopecia. Patterns of elastic fibers in the perifollicular and interfollicular dermis are helpful in differentiating idiopathic pseudopelade of Brocq from pseudopeladic states secondary to lupus erythematosus and other disease processes. Within the idiopathic group, the development of elastic fibres on the lower cyclic portion of the hair root identifies a sub-group that may have a different, non-inflammatory pathogenesis and is provisionally designated as fibrosing alopecia.
