Résumé

The EXTREME regimen is the standard for recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, many patients have a poor performance status and/or comorbidities, making them unfit for this regimen. We have treated them with carboplatin and cetuximab (simplified EXTREME regimen) since 2007. Our aim was to assess the efficacy and tolerance of this regimen in this frail population.
