Brief Summary  

Study procedure

 This is an interventional study to assess the overall response rate of the patient treated with induction regimen prior to chemo radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. Patients will be treated with induction regimen followed by chemo radiotherapy will be included in the study. The treatment regimen is as follows:

Induction Regimen:

 

Patients to receive a 1-hour intravenous infusion of Docetaxel at 75 mg/m2 followed by a 30-minute intravenous infusion of cisplatin at 75 mg/m2. All patients to be premedicated oral dexamethasone at 8 mg twice daily for 3 days, commencing 1 day before Docetaxel infusion.

 

All patients will be premedicated with Intravenous dexamethasone at 20 mg and either ondansetron or granisetron to be administered before cisplatin infusion.

 

Cisplatin to be mixed with normal saline and given with pretreatment and post treatment intravenous hydration and mannitol diuresis. Either oral ondansetron 8 mg three times daily for 2 days or oral metoclopramide 0.5 mg/kg four times daily for 2 days to be given, commencing 16 hours after cisplatin. Docetaxel and cisplatin treatments to be repeated every 21 days for 3 cycles, provided that the patient’s blood

 

count had returned to normal (absolute neutrophil count  > 1500/mm3 ; platelet count > 100,000/µl) by the start of the next scheduled chemotherapy cycle.

 CRT:

 

Intravenous cisplatin to be administered at a dose of 30 mg/m2 weekly starting concomitantly with conventional radiotherapy to the primary tumor and to the clinically positive nodes. Intravenous cisplatin to be continued till the radiotherapy continues

 

Radiotherapy treatment plan:

 

Planning target volumes (PTVs) of the primary tumor, lymphnode metastases, lymphnodes at risk of metastatic disease, critical organs and the major salivary glands will be outlined on planning CT scan /MRI . Conformal and / or IMRT techniques will be utilized. Gross disease PTV dose will be 66 Gy/30 fractions and sub clinical PTV dose 60 – 54 Gy/30 fractions. The major salivary glands will be spare according to specified criteria.

 

A boost of 4 – 6 Gy in2 -3 fractions to the gross tumor PTV is optional.
