Study Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may cause less damage to normal tissue, prevent or lessen mouth dryness, and may help patients live more comfortably. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of specialized radiation therapy techniques with or without chemotherapy in reducing mouth dryness in patients who have nasopharyngeal cancer.

Primary Outcome

Patients scored by the study chairs as no variation or minor variation were considered compliant, while patients scored as major variation or inevaluable were considered non-compliant. The number being reported is the number non-compliant. A compliance rate of 90% was targeted with 75% or lower being considered unacceptable. Fifty-seven patients were required with types I and II error rates both 0.10. If 10 or more patients out of 57 were non-compliant, the treatment would be unacceptable, per a
