Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
What: Acute toxicities When: Weekly during treatment and 6 weeks after completion of treatment. How: Acute toxicities of the two regimens will be evaluated by determining the frequency of severe (= grade 3) toxicities based on RTOG Acute Radiation Morbidity Criteria using the information of history and physical examinations, ECOG performance status, CBC, electrolyte, creatinine, SGPT.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
What: Treatment Response When: 6 weeks after completion of Treatment How: The treatment response evaluation will be performed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST), version 1.1 as Complete response (CR), partial response (PR), progressive disease (PD), stable disease (SD) using the data of Panendoscopic evaluation and CT scans of neck & face obtained 6 weeks after therapy. Pathologic confirmation will be required for patients suspected to have clinical evidence of residual disease at the primary site 6 weeks after therapy.
