Brief Summary: This study seeks to establish the safety of gemcitabine paclitaxel and low-dose radiation in recurrent metastatic head and neck cancer through a two-stage dose escalation study first with Gemcitabine dose escalation and then with low-dose radiation escalation

Treatment Schedule

Treatment will be administered on an inpatient or outpatient basis

Gemcitabine2000 to 3000mgm2 IV in the vein on days 1 and 15 every 28 days over 30-60 minutes
Paclitaxel 150 mgm2 IVin the veinon days 1 and 15 every 28 days over 60 minutes
Low Dose Radiation 50-80 cGy twice daily on days 1 2 15 16 every 28 days at least 4 hours apart
Detailed Description: Objectives

1 To assess the MTD of low-dose fractionated radiation in combination with Gemcitabine and Paclitaxel in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer in the relapsed setting

Secondary Objectives

1 To assess quantitative toxicities in this group of patients treated with this regimen
2 To assess response rate in this group of patients treated with this regimen
3 To investigate in an exploratory manner the association of tumor markers p53 p21waf1cip1 bcl-xL bcl-2 and bax evaluated by immunohistochemistry with response rate using pre- and post-treatment biopsies
