Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with radiation therapy and surgery works in treating patients with advanced cancer of the oral cavity, oropharynx, or hypopharynx that can be removed by surgery.

Primary Outcome

Determine the feasibility of a new intensification regimen for previously untreated resectable advanced stage head and neck cancer that incorporates Cisplatin, Paclitaxel combined with surgery, submandibular gland transfer and radiation therapy

Interventions

  • DRUG Cisplatin
  • DRUG Paclitaxel
  • RADIATION Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) External Beam Radiation
  • PROCEDURE Triple endoscopy and biopsy
