Official title
Intensification Regimen for Previously Untreated, Resectable, Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity, Oropharynx, and Hypopharynx: Incorporation of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy and Submandibular Gland Transfer to Minimize Treatment Morbidity; Correlative Imaging/Molecular Markers.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
