Background Despite more than 70 randomised trials, the effect of chemotherapy on non-metastatic head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma remains uncertain. We did three meta-analyses of the impact of survival on chemotherapy added to locoregional treatment.Methods We updated data on all patients in randomised trials between 1965 and 1993, We included patients with carcinoma of the oropharynx, oral cavity, larynx, or hypopharynx.Findings The main meta-analysis of 63 trials (10 741 patients) of locoregional treatment with or without chemotherapy yielded a pooled hazard ratio of death of 0.90 (95% CI 0.85-0.94, p
