Experimental: Resection/adjuvant radio(-chemo)therapy
|
Procedure: Resection
Definitive surgery should generally be performed within 2 weeks, but not more than 4 weeks after randomization. The appropriately indicated neck dissection(s) may be performed either prior to, during the same session, or within 2 weeks after the resection of the primary tumor, but not later than 4 weeks following randomization. The primary tumor is to be resected with clear margins (R0) and en bloc in all cases. Frozen section assessment must be routinely and readily available.
Other Name: Transoral Surgery
Radiation: Radiotherapy 6-7 weeks standard risk-adapted adjuvant radiotherapy 56-66 Gy, start within 6 weeks post-surgery Arm B: 6-7 weeks standard radiotherapy (IMRT-technique), start within 4 weeks after randomization, 70-72 Gy, SIB possible
Drug: Chemotherapy The investigational medicinal product (IMP) are the chemotherapeutical drugs Cisplatin, Mitomycin C and 5-FU. According to local routine, chemotherapy protocols as listed in study protocol should be used.

Time to local or locoregional failure or death from any cause [ Time Frame: Defined as time from randomization up to 36 month ] The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of primary surgical versus non-surgical treatment of patients with locally advanced, but transorally resectable oropharyngeal cancer in terms of time to local or locoregional failure or death from any cause (LRF).

Brief Summary | Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Transoral Head and Neck Surgery followed by adjuvant Radio(chemo)therapy versus primary Radiochemotherapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer | ||||
Detailed Description | This trial investigates the effectiveness of transoral head and neck surgery (TOS) for locally advanced, but transorally resectable oropharyngeal cancer followed by risk-adapted adjuvant therapy versus primary radiochemotherapy (definitive chemoradiotherapy, CRTX). Both treatments are internationally accepted standards. The choice of the treatment strategy depends on the preference of the responsible attending physician and on the country of residence. Internationally, mostly definitive chemoradiotherapy is regarded as the standard of care for oropharyngeal cancer. In Germany, however, transoral surgical resection is also well established and commonly practiced. The key question therefore is whether one of the two therapies is more effective than the other in clinical daily routine under the given conditions of our health care system and with a realistic, non-ideal patient cohort. For this reason, a comparative effectiveness research (CER) concept will be applied in this setting. The aim of this trial is primarily to show a superiority of the surgical approach in terms of local and locoregional control and secondarily to compare functional outcome and quality of life. | ||||
