Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Primary Objective: To estimate the overall response rate after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy of Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 in combination with Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 given for 3 cycles, and followed by conventional radiotherapy in UCNT. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate: * The radiological response after chemotherapy and radiotherapy * The pathological response after chemotherapy by cavum biopsy To estimate: * The duration of overall response * The time to progression (T.T.P) To analyze: * The overall survival * The safety profile
