Abstract

We present a case of a 71 years old man with a metastatic squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma after local complete response with chemoradiotherapy and 24 months of disease free survival. Metastatic disease was treated with a combination of chemotherapy paclitaxel weekly schedule and the anti epidermal grouth factor inhibitor monoclonal antibody cetuximab.A very early and maintained complete response was achieved. We will discuss about the necessity of predictive and good prognosis biomarkers on laringeal tumours which can explain long survivors.
