We confirmed the safety of postoperative bio-chemoradiotherapy using cetuximab and docetaxel in a small number of patients with cis-platinum-intolerant core high-risk head and neck cancer. Objective: To assess treatment efficacy, we planned a phase 2 study of postoperative bio-chemoradiotherapy for patients with cis-platinum-intolerant core high-risk head and neck cancer and will compare the results to those of previously collected radiotherapy data. Methods: Patients who underwent definitive

The primary end point is 2-year disease-free survival. Results: The expected 2-year disease-free survival is set at 55%, and the calculated sample size is 35 patients, according to a statistical analysis based on previous reports. Conclusions: This treatment method is expected to improve the survival rate of patients with severe head and neck cancer.
