Background and Purpose: The standard treatment for non-metastatic stage III/IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck varies worldwide. This study compared the outcomes of radiochemotherapy alone to surgery followed by radio(chemo)therapy (radiotherapy plus/minus concurrent chemotherapy). Patients and Methods:Data from 148 patients treated with radiochemotherapy alone were matched to 148 patients treated with surgery plus radio(chemo)therapy. Groups were matched 1:1 for nine potential prognostic factors including age, gender, performance status, tumor site, histologic grade, T category, N category, AJCC stage, and hemoglobin level before radiotherapy, and compared for locoregional control, metastases-free survival, and overall survival. Results: Locoregional control rates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 81%, 73%, and 67% after surgery plus radio(chemo)therapy and 81%, 74%, and 65% after radiochemotherapy alone (p = 0.89). Metastases-free survival rates were 86%, 80%, and 75% after surgery plus radio(chemotherapy) versus 87%, 80%, and 72% after radiochemotherapy alone (p = 0.57). Overall survival rates were 80%, 64%, and 63% after surgery plus radio(chemo)therapy versus 83%, 68%, and 60% after radiochemotherapy alone (p = 0.96). On multivariate analyses, T category (p < 0.001), N category (p = 0.004), and hemoglobin level prior to radiotherapy (p < 0.001) were associated with locoregional control. Histologic grade (p = 0.045), T category (p < 0.001), N category (p = 0.003), and hemoglobin level prior to radiotherapy (p < 0.001) were associated with metastases-free survival. Histologic grade (p = 0.030), ECOG perfor-mance status (p = 0.033), T category (p = 0.007), N category (p = 0.024) and hemoglobin level before radiotherapy (p < 0.001) were associated with overall survival. Conclusion: Outcomes of radiochemotherapy alone appeared similar to those of surgery plus radio(chemo)therapy. Randomized trials comparing both treatments for different tumor sites are warranted.
