Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Giving radiation therapy at different times of the day may affect the chance of developing side effects such as mucositis

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the incidence of mucositis in patients who have cancer of the mouth pharynx or larynx who are receiving radiation therapy in either the morning or afternoon
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the toxicity of radiotherapy to the oral mucosa delivered in the morning or in the late afternoon in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity pharynx orohyponaso or larynx who will receive radiation treatment to a significant part of the oral andor oropharyngeal mucosa

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center intended smoking behavior during therapy smoking vs nonsmoking and planned total radiotherapy dose

Patients are randomized to receive radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week at one of two of the following times of the day

Arm I Patients receive radiotherapy between 8 and 10 AM local time
Arm II Patients receive radiotherapy between 4 and 6 PM local time Treatment continues for 5-8 weeks depending on planned total radiotherapy dose in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression

Toxicity is assessed at baseline at the first fraction of radiotherapy weekly during treatment weekly until mucositis has peaked and is improving and then every 2 weeks until mucositis has improved to less than grade 2

Quality of life is assessed at baseline weekly during treatment and until toxicity has peaked and is improving every 2 weeks until toxicity is less than grade 2 mucositis and then at each follow-up visit until week 24

Patients are followed at weeks 2-3 6-8 12 and 24 and then annually for 3 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 216 patients 108 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
