Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with radiation therapy and surgery works in treating patients with advanced cancer of the oral cavity, oropharynx, or hypopharynx that can be removed by surgery.

Experimental: Treatment (neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation)
PREOPERATIVE:Patients receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours three times weekly in week 1 once daily(QD),5 days a week, in weeks 1-2. SURGERY:Patients undergo triple endoscopy and biopsy with submandibular gland transfer in week 3. INTRAOPERATIVE: Patients also undergo Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) External Beam Radiation. POSTOPERATIVE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours in weeks 7-10 and cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours three times weekly in weeks 7 and 10. Patients also undergo Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) External Beam Radiation QD, 5 days a week, in weeks 7-10. |
Drug: Cisplatin
Patients will receive Cisplatin (30 mg/m2 i.v.) daily x 3 days in week 1.
Other Names:
Drug: Paclitaxel
Patients will receive Paclitaxel (45 mg/m2i.v.) infusion over 3 hours during weeks 7,8,9,10
Other Name: Taxol®
Radiation: Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) External Beam Radiation
Patients will receive Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) External Beam Radiation to tumor and involved regional nodes 20Gy over 10 daily (M-F) treatments (2 Gy Fractions with 6 millivolts photons)week 1 and 2.
Other Names:
Procedure: Triple endoscopy and biopsy
Resection of the primary tumor: Patients must have surgery performed according to the following surgical guidelines. The extent of the surgical resection will be dictated by the extent of the tumor at the time of initial evaluation. The primary lesion must be widely excised using accepted criteria for adequate excision depending on the region involved. All patients will undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement at the time of endoscopy and biopsies.

Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the feasibility of a new intensification regimen comprising cisplatin and paclitaxel in combination with radiotherapy and surgery in patients with resectable advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, or hypopharynx.
Secondary
- Assess the disease-free interval and failure sites in patients treated with this regimen.
- Correlate molecular markers with treatment outcome in these patients.
- Correlate quality of life with treatment outcome in these patients.
- Determine the frequency and severity of toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
- Evaluate treatment completion in these patients.
OUTLINE:
- Preoperative therapy (weeks 1 and 2): Patients receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1-3. Patients also undergo intensity-modulated external beam radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5 and 8-12.
- Surgery (week 3): Patients undergo surgical resection of the primary tumor (with or without neck dissection) and intraoperative boost radiotherapy.
- Postoperative therapy (weeks 7-10): Patients receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1-3 and 22-24 and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Patients also undergo intensity-modulated external beam radiotherapy on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26.
Patients undergo blood and tissue sample collection at baseline, in weeks 3, 7-10, and 14, and then periodically thereafter for biomarker correlative studies.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at 3, 6, and 12 months after completion of treatment, and then annually thereafter.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year and then periodically thereafter.
