简要总结
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective in treating patients with stage II cancer of the vocal cord.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare two regimens of radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II cancer of the vocal cord.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the local response rate in patients with stage II invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the true vocal cord treated with hyperfractionation vs conventional fractionation radiotherapy.
- Compare the acute and late toxic effects of these regimens in this patient population.
- Compare the overall and disease-free survival patterns in this patient population treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to substage (T2a vs T2b). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients undergo conventional radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks followed by boost radiotherapy 5 days a week for 2 weeks.
- Arm II: Patients undergo hyperfractionation radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks followed by boost radiotherapy 5 days a week for 1.6 weeks.
Patients with biopsy-proven persistent disease at least 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy undergo salvage surgery with neck dissection (at the discretion of the surgeon).

结局指标
主要结局
Local Control
时间窗: From randomization to date of failure (local progression) or death or last follow-up. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 2 years.
次要结局
- Acute Toxicity(From start of treatment to 90 days)
- Disease-free Survival(From randomization to date of failure (local, regional, or distant progression, second primary tumor, or death) or last follow-up. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 2 years.)
- Overall Survival(From randomization to date of death or last follow-up. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 2 years)
- Late Toxicity(From 91 days after start of treatment to last follow-up.)
