Twenty one patients with resectable oral cancer received two courses of induction chemotherapy with peplomycin (PEP), vincristine (VCR), mitomycin C (MMC) and cisplatin (CDDP). Five patients had a complete response to the therapy and 9 had a partial response. Histological evaluation by Ohboshi-Shimozato classification indicated that Grade IV was obtained in 7 cases, Grade III was in 4 cases. Moreover, the study suggested that this regimen was less effective for metastatic lymph lesions than that for the primary tumors.
