Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective in treating patients with stage II cancer of the vocal cord

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare two regimens of radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II cancer of the vocal cord
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the local response rate in patients with stage II invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the true vocal cord treated with hyperfractionation vs conventional fractionation radiotherapy
Compare the acute and late toxic effects of these regimens in this patient population
Compare the overall and disease-free survival patterns in this patient population treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to substage T2a vs T2b Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients undergo conventional radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks followed by boost radiotherapy 5 days a week for 2 weeks
Arm II Patients undergo hyperfractionation radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks followed by boost radiotherapy 5 days a week for 16 weeks

Patients with biopsy-proven persistent disease at least 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy undergo salvage surgery with neck dissection at the discretion of the surgeon

Patients are followed at 4 weeks every 3 months for 1 year every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 240 patients will be accrued for this study within 32 years
