Patients receive GP gemcitabine (1000 mg/m\^2 d1,8) and cisplatin (80mg/m\^2 d1) or TPF docetaxel (60mg/m\^2 on day 1), cisplatin (60mg/m\^2 on day 1) and fluorouracil (600mg/m\^2 on Days 1 to 5) every three weeks for three cycles before the radiotherapy.
Intensity modulated-radiotherapy (IMRT) is given as 2.0 Gy per fraction with five daily fractions per week for 6-7 weeks to a total dose of 66 Gy or greater to the primary tumor.
