Brief summary
The role of postoperative concurrent chemotherapy (CCT) has not been established for salivary gland tumors (SGTs). This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and safety of customized CCT regimens based on the gene targets of SGTs.
Interventions
Docetaxel only: 80 mg/m2 on day one, every 21 days if
a total dose of 60-66Gy in 30-32 fractions over 6-7 weeks
Pemetrexed only: 500 mg/m2 on day one, every 21 days
Cisplatin only: 70 mg/m2 on day one to day three, every 21 days
