Report is made about the combined therapy with cytostatics (methotrexate - bleomycin) and irradiation in patients with extended tumors in the gnathic region. Ten patients in whom a radical therapy with conventional methods did not promise any success, were treated with intra-arterial infusions of methotrexate and bleomycin and simultaneous irradiation. At present, eight patients are tumor free (observation time 4-14 months after termination of therapy). Although radiation doses and doses of cytostatics were high, only insignificant side effects were stated; consequently, the treatment had to be terminated in none of the patients.
