Background/Aim: This Japanese multiple-center retrospective study aimed to examine the real-world treatment outcomes of the EXTREME regimen as a first-line therapy for recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN). Patients and Methods: A total of 100 R/M SCCHN patients treated with the EXTREME regimen as first-line therapy were analyzed. The treatment outcomes were evaluated to compare patient and treatment characteristics with overall survival. Results: Patients treated with carboplatin-based EXTREME regimen showed similar overall survival with less adverse effects compared to that of patients using cisplatin. The post-progression survival was significantly longer in patients treated with second-line treatment following the EXTREME regimen than in those without second-line treatment. Conclusion: The carboplatin-based EXTREME regimen was more feasible with similar treatment outcomes compared to cisplatin-based EXTREME regimen. In addition, subsequent lines of therapy contributed to improvement of survival for R/M SCCHN patients.
