Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the toxicity of fluorouracil and cisplatin with concurrent radiotherapy in patients with stage I-IVB squamous cell cancer of the head and neck at high risk of recurrence following curative resection II Determine the efficacy of this regimen in these patients III Determine the survival of these patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients receive fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-5 and 43-47 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 2 23 and 44 Concurrent radiotherapy is administered 5 days a week for 65 weeks Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years then every 6 months for 3 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 44-68 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months
