Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs such as sargramostim may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of sargramostim in preventing mucositis in patients who are receiving radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the efficacy of sargramostim GM-CSF in reducing the duration and severity of mucositis resulting from accelerated radiotherapy in patients with laryngeal carcinoma
Determine the effect of GM-CSF on quality of life aspects of these patients as assessed by nutritional status analgesic use and days in the hospital

OUTLINE This is a randomized study

Patients receive radiotherapy in 16 fractions over 21 days Patients are randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms before scheduled radiotherapy begins

Arm I Patients receive sargramostim GM-CSF SC daily for 14 days beginning on day 14 of the course of radiotherapy
Arm II Patients do not receive GM-CSF Patients are followed weekly until mucositis is healed as well as at weeks 2 and 6 following the end of radiotherapy

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 34 patients 17 per arm will be accrued for this study
