Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of amifostine in treating side effects of treatment in patients receiving radiation therapy and cisplatin for advanced head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the efficacy of amifostine in alleviating treatment related mucositis associated with targeted supradose cisplatin and concurrent radiotherapy RADPLAT protocol in patients with stage III or IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck II Determine the efficacy of amifostine in alleviating other treatment related morbidities associated with this protocol in these patients

OUTLINE This is an open label multicenter study of amifostine Patients receive external beam radiotherapy 5 days a week for approximately 65-75 weeks Concurrent with radiotherapy patients receive amifostine IV over 10 minutes 30 minutes prior to cisplatin then cisplatin intra-arterially over 3-5 minutes Chemotherapy and amifostine course is repeated every week for 4 weeks Patients are followed at 1 month

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 30 patients will be accrued into this study over 12-18 months
