Study Summary

The interaction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitory agents such as cetuximab combined with radiation shows promising results. EGFR inhibitory agents also enhance radiation-induced apoptosis and inhibit radiation induced damage repair. These interactions may represent the principle effects that contribute to the synergy between EGFR and radiation. This trial will investigate the feasibility and activity of this combination in patients with surgically resectable disease.
