What was measured

The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Head and Neck Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-H\&N35) swallowing score measures patient-reported difficulty with swallowing various foods and liquid and ranges from 0 (no swallowing problems) to 100 (maximum swallowing difficulty). A positive change from baseline indicates worsening swallowing function.

Analysis population: Eligible participants enrolled to the quality of life (QOL) substudy who received protocol treatment and had outcome measure data.

Groups in this outcome

IMRT + Cisplatin

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent cisplatin Cisplatin: 100 mg/m2 IV on days 1 and 22 of IMRT IMRT: 35 fractions over 6 weeks, 6 fractions per week, 2 Gray per fraction to total dose of 70 Gy.

IMRT + Cetuximab

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent cetuximab Cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 IV 5-7 days before IMRT then 250 mg/m2 IV weekly for 7 weeks IMRT: 35 fractions over 6 weeks, 6 fractions per week, 2 Gray per fraction to total dose of 70 Gy.
