Radiation Therapy and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Head and Neck Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
