Brief Summary: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of docetaxel plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel when administered with concurrent boost radiotherapy in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck previously treated with induction chemotherapy
Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population
Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study of docetaxel

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour weekly for 4 weeks Patients also undergo hyperfractionated radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 4 weeks followed by radiotherapy alone twice daily for 2 weeks

Upon completion of chemoradiotherapy patients not achieving complete response to induction chemotherapy undergo neck surgical dissection at 4-12 weeks following completion of radiotherapy

Cohorts of 3-5 patients receive escalating doses of docetaxel until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is reached The MTD is the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 5 patients experience dose limiting toxicity Additional patients are treated at the MTD

Patients are followed monthly for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18-25 patients will be accrued for this study
