## Abstract ## Background. In locally advanced head and neck cancer, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with combined 5βfluorouracil (5βFU) and cisplatin has increased acute toxicities as well as survival. Onceβweekly chemotherapeutic administration schedule may reduce severe toxicities. Thus, we
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Both concomitant chemotherapy and altered fractionation radiotherapy (RT) have been shown to improve outcomes for patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. However, both strategies also increase acute toxicity, and it is questionable w
