Alternating chemoradiotherapy versus partly accelerated radiotherapy in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Abstract

This trial failed to disclose statistically significant differences in the outcome of patients treated with either ALT or PA-RT. Therefore, definitive conclusions could not be made. However, acute skin effects and late mucosal and skin toxicities above the clavicles appeared to be significantly lower with chemoradiotherapy.
