Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
radiotherapy alone arm
VP-16 50 mg/m2 on day 1-5 and Carboplatin AUC = 5 on day 1 will be given by intravenous infusion for 3-4 cycles. Then a total dose of 60 Gy will be given in 30 fractions of 2 Gy, 5 fractions per week; All patients will be radiated by external beam radiation, using 3-D conformal radiation technique.
