简要总结
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy following surgery in treating patients who have recurrent or second primary cancer of the head and neck following previous radiation therapy.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the survival and local control in previously irradiated patients at high risk for local failure following regional resection of recurrent or second primary head and neck cancer.
- Determine the acute and late toxicities of this treatment in these patients.
- Determine the pattern of disease failure in these patients on this treatment.
- Determine any change in quality of life in these patients on this treatment.
OUTLINE: Patients receive fractionated doses of radiotherapy five times weekly for 6 weeks.
Quality of life is assessed prior to study, 2 months after radiotherapy, every 3 months for remainder of year 1, every 4 months for years 2-3, every 6 months for years 4-5, and then annually thereafter.
Patients are followed 2 months after radiotherapy, every 3 months for year 1, every 4 months for year 2, every 6 months for years 3-5, and then annually thereafter.
