Measure
Celecoxib + Carboplatin/Paclitaxel+Radiation Therapy
Patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer will be treated with weekly carboplatin, paclitaxel, and concurrent radiotherapy. Radiotherapy will be delivered at 1.8 Gy every day, to a maximum dose of 70.2 Gy. Carboplatin will be dosed at AUC=2.0, while paclitaxel will be dosed at 30mg/m2. Celecoxib will be delivered at 400mg twice daily, starting 1 week prior to the onset of radiotherapy to establish constant blood levels.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years from end of treatment (Radiation therapy)

Evaluate the response to concurrent celecoxib, carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced SSC of the head and neck. Response is determined by local control only, local and distant metastasis, distant metastasis only, second primary, and surgical salvage.
