Abstract
Twenty-two evaluable patients with all cell types of advanced thyroid cancer were treated with the combination of doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (60 mg/m2). There were two brief partial remissions (9.1%). There was considerable toxicity, with one drug-related death. Combination chemotherapy as given in this study was not effective for this patient population.
