Background. Patients with advanced, inoperable head and neck cancers have cure rates of approximately 10-15%. In these patients, concomitant chemoradiotherapy seems to improve local control and survival. 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU) administered by continuous infusion and cisplatin plus concomitant conventi
## Background: Both twice daily fractionated radiotherapy and concurrent cisplatin with once-daily radiotherapy have been shown to improve local disease control in patients with head and neck cancer. the objective of this phase i trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of cisplatin which
