Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracil, and carboplatin, work in 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 chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is most effective in treating head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two different regimens of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer.

Primary Outcome

To compare the 3-year survival achieved by docetaxel/cisplatin/5-FU based sequential therapy with platinum based chemo radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced SCCHN. Overall survival is defined as the time from date of randomisation to death from any cause. Patients alive at the time of current analysis were censored at the date last known to be alive.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival
