SWOG-9451, Combination Chemo & RT For Patients With Stage III/Stage IV Cancer of the Hypopharynx or Tongue
Stopped early · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Head and Neck Cancer
In brief
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use 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 more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV cancer of the hypopharynx or tongue.
