Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Giving docetaxel together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage II or stage III cancer of the larynx or hypopharynx
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the objective response of the primary tumor in patients with stage II or III squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx or hypopharynx treated with docetaxel and radiotherapy

Secondary

Determine the local relapse-free survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the larynx-preservation survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the protocol completion rate in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the adverse effects of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1 8 15 22 and 29 and undergo radiotherapy on days 1-5 8-12 15-19 22-26 and 29-33

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 25-50 patients will be accrued for this study
