Brief Summary
|
Trial is yet to start recruitment. Aim of the study is - To evaluate the tolerability and feasibility of moderate accelerated radiotherapy (6 fractions per week) in locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinomas of Hypopharynx and Larynx undergoing radical radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy at our institute. Treatment plan- Moderate Accelerated Radiotherapy (RT): will be given to a total dose of 66 Gy, 2Gy/day for 33 fractions, 6 days a week, total 5.5 weeks instead of the conventional 5 days a week, total 6.5 weeks. RT will be given to primary tumour and nodal areas as per the clinical and radiological findings.Chemotherapy: weekly Inj.Cisplatin 30 mg/m2 or weekly Inj Docetaxel 15 mg/m2 |
