Subject: Recurrent laryngeal carcinoma
I plan to treat him with a combination of Erbitrux and chemotherapy. I have explained to him that it is experimental therapy. There is no guarantee of success. The turbacent toxicities are substantial and these were discussed with the patient. The patient wishes to proceed and will see me back next week.
This patient has recurrent laryngeal carcinoma. - Thanks so much for helping.
