Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known whether radiation therapy plus cisplatin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with head and neck cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus cisplatin with radiation therapy alone in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has been removed during surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate locoregional control rates patterns of first failure and overall and disease-free survival in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck at high risk of locoregional recurrence who are treated postoperatively with concurrent cisplatin and radiotherapy II Compare the toxicity of concurrent chemoradiotherapy vs radiotherapy alone in the postoperative setting

OUTLINE Randomized study Arm I Radiotherapy Involved-field irradiation using Co60 1-6 MV photons or electrons Arm II Radiotherapy plus Single-Agent Chemotherapy Irradiation as in Arm I plus Cisplatin CDDP NSC-119875

PROJECTED ACCRUAL 438 patients will be entered over approximately 5 years
