Summary
Brief summary
Phase 2

This is a study of the effectiveness and toxicity of chemoradiation
therapy for skin cancer (squamous cell carcinoma).

Who is it for?
You can join this study if you have squamous cell skin cancer that
cannot be treated surgically.

Trial details
Participants will receive chemotherapy with the drugs cisplatin or carboplatin once per week for 6 weeks as well as daily radiotherapy. There is no
control group in this study. Participants' response to treatment will be
measured 8 weeks after treatment is completed. Side effects will be
monitored during treatment, at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment is
completed, and then every 2 months for the first year, and every three
months after that. Overall survival and disease free survival will be
measured after 3 years.

The study aims to document the effectiveness and toxicity of treatment
with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
