Brief Summary: RATIONALE Moving a salivary gland out of the area that will undergo radiation therapy may protect the gland from side effects of radiation therapy and may prevent xerostomia dry mouth

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of salivary gland surgery in preventing xerostomia in patients who are undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the reproducibility of the surgical technique of submandibular salivary gland transfer in patients with head and neck cancer
Determine the rate and severity of radiation-induced xerostomia after this surgery in these patients
Determine the pattern of recurrence disease-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this surgery followed by radiotherapy
Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients undergo surgical transfer of the submandibular salivary gland to the submental space

Within 4-6 weeks after surgery patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5 ½ to 7 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Salivary scans are performed before surgery at 2-3 weeks after surgery and then at 6 months from the start of radiotherapy

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 3 6 and 12 months from the start of radiotherapy

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years and then annually

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 11-48 patients will be accrued for this study within 16 years
