Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV cancer of the hypopharynx or tongue.

Primary Outcome

Complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease. No new lesions, No disease related symptoms. No evidence of non-evaluable disease, including normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. Specifically, the rate of organ preservation (no surgery required at the primary tumor site).

Interventions

  • DRUG cisplatin
  • DRUG fluorouracil
  • RADIATION low-LET cobalt-60 gamma ray therapy
  • DRUG Induction chemotherapy
