Patients receive 3 cycles (cycle duration 21 days) of docetaxel (75mg/m²), cisplatin (75mg/m²) and 5-fluorouracil (750mg/m²) followed by Cetuximab (weekly, starting with 400mg/m² then continuing with 250 mg/m²) with radiotherapy (concomitant boost for 6 weeks). Active comparator is 5-fluorouracil for first three cycles.
