Active Comparator
Experimental
Arm A:Standard radiochemotherapy
Arm B Escalated radiochemotherapy
Radiotherapy with 2 Gy per fractions 5 fractions a week to 68 Gy to the planning target volume. Three courses of cisplatin 75 mg/m2 day 1and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 day 1+8. Two courses concomitant with radiation.
Radiotherapy with 2 Gy per fraction 5 or 6 times a week to 68-84 Gy to the planning target volume due to normal tissue tolerance constraints. Dose to lung tissue, esophagus and spinal cord will be considered. Three courses of cisplatin 75 mg/m2 day 1 and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 day 1+8 will be given, two courses concomitant with radiation.
