Treatment (Hypofractionated Radiation Boost, Chemoradiation)
Patients undergo hypofractionated radiation boost over 2 fractions (at least 40 hours apart) during week 1. Beginning week 2, patients receive cisplatin IV on days 8, 15, 36, and 43; and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 8-12 and 36-40. Patients also undergo standard 3-D conformal radiation therapy QD 5 days a week for a total of 30 fractions. Treatment continues for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. hypofractionated radiation therapy: Radiation boost in week 1 (days 1-5) cisplatin: Given IV etoposide: Given IV 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy: Undergo 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy laboratory biomarker analysis: Correlative studies

Timeframe: Baseline to the end of week 1

Population: The functional MRI substudies that measured changes in tumor perfusion were optional for participants. Eleven participants chose to participate in the substudies.

Changes in perfusion will be tested by comparing mean values pre- and post-hypofractionated boost radiation using a paired t-test. The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be used (parameters were derived using the modified Brix's model): Amp, Kep.

Treatment (Hypofractionated Radiation Boost, Chemoradiation)
n=21 participants at risk
Patients undergo hypofractionated radiation boost over 2 fractions (at least 40 hours apart) during week 1. Beginning week 2, patients receive cisplatin IV on days 8, 15, 36, and 43; and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 8-12 and 36-40. Patients also undergo standard 3-D conformal radiation therapy QD 5 days a week for a total of 30 fractions. Treatment continues for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. hypofractionated radiation therapy: Radiation boost in week 1 (days 1-5) cisplatin: Given IV etoposide: Given IV 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy: Undergo 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy laboratory biomarker analysis: Correlative studies
