Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
C76.0

C76.0
Head, face and neck
Intervention(s)
Group 1: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens with CDDP (cisplatin 30mg/m² weekly with premedications and adequate hydration; radiotherapy- 6600-7000 cGy in single daily 1.8-2 Gy/fraction, 5 days a week on linear accelerator with 4 or 6 MV photon beams)
Group 2: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimens with PC (paclitaxel 40mg/m² over 1 hour followed by carboplatin AUC-2 over 30 min with premedications, weekly; radiotherapy- 6600-7000 cGy in single daily 1.8-2 Gy/fraction, 5 days a week on linear accelerator with 4 or 6 MV photon beams)
Primary Outcome(s)
What: Treatment Response

When: 6 weeks after completion of Treatment

How: The treatment response evaluation will be performed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST), version 1.1 as Complete response (CR), partial response (PR), progressive disease (PD), stable disease (SD) using the data of Panendoscopic evaluation and CT scans of neck & face obtained 6 weeks after therapy. Pathologic confirmation will be required for patients suspected to have clinical evidence of residual disease at the primary site 6 weeks after therapy.
Secondary Outcome(s)
What: Acute toxicities

When: Weekly during treatment and 6 weeks after completion of treatment.

How: Acute toxicities of the two regimens will be evaluated by determining the frequency of severe (= grade 3) toxicities based on RTOG Acute Radiation Morbidity Criteria using the information of history and physical examinations, ECOG performance status, CBC, electrolyte, creatinine, SGPT.
