Purpose: Radiotherapy is frequently employed for palliative treatment in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) but radiation dose fractionation regimens are not well-defined. We designed this phase 3 randomized controlled trial to compare two weekly hypo fractionated regimes and study the effect on progression-free survival (PFS) in this subset of patients.

Materials And Methods: Non-metastatic locally advanced HNSCC patients (n = 305) who were not suitable for curative treatment were randomized to Arm A (20 Gy/5#/5 days) and Arm B (30 Gy/5#/5 days).
