Recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) develops in around 72,000 people in Europe every year. Treatment options are limited, mainly consisting of platinum-based palliative chemotherapy, with median overall survival times of only 6-8 months. No standard second-line treatment after progression on platinum-based chemotherapy is available. Few data have reported the efficacy of these treatments and the outcome of the patients. In an effort to generate such data, this retrospective study analysed clinical records from 151 patients with SCCHN refractory to platinum-based chemotherapy treated between 1990 and 2000 at seven different centres around Europe.
