Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Standard: Homogeneous dose plan

    Treatment will be given over 33 treatments. The dose is 66 Gy.

    Radiation: Standard: Homogeneous dose plan

  • Experimental
    Escalation: Inhomogeneous dose plan

    Radiation dose is increased to tumor and lymph nodes based on an inhomogeneous dose distribution determined by the most active ( FDG-PET criteria ) area of the node compared to a standard uniform dose distribution. Treatment will be given over 33 treatments. The dose is as high as possible taking the tolerance of the normal tissue into consideration

    Radiation: Escalated: Inhomogeneous dose plan

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Locoregional control (Tumor recurrency is assessed by scheduled CT (of the thorax and upper abdomen)

    Tumor recurrency is assessed by scheduled CT (of the thorax and upper abdomen ) every 3 months combined with PET/CT every 9 months or if occurrence is clinically suspected. Suspicion of tumor relapse local, regional or distant should be verified by biopsy. Date of detected recurrence is the date of the imaging modality suspecting relapse. The patient will be censured at death without local relapse.

    Time frame: 5-7 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Toxicity (graded after CTCAE 4.0 assessed by physician)

    Acute and late toxicity graded after CTCAE 4.0 assessed by physician at scheduled follow-up visits

    Time frame: 10 years

  2. Survival

    Time from randomization to exact date of death of any cause.

    Time frame: 15 years

  3. Progression free survival

    Time from randomization to date of progression, death, or occurence of metastatic disease

    Time frame: 15 years
