Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

2 courses of cisplatin chemoradiotherapy arm

Patients will receive intensity modulated radiotherapy (total dose: \> 66 Gy, split dose: 2-2.2 Gy/ time, once a day, 5 times a week) plus concurrent Cisplatin chemotherapy (100 mg/m2 intravenous injection,once every 3 weeks, twice in total, on days 1 and 22).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cisplatin

Intervention Type DRUG

Concurrent Cisplatin chemotherapy (100 mg/m2 intravenous injection,once every 3 weeks, twice in total, on days 1 and 22) will be given plus intensity modulated radiotherapy

Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy alone

Patients will receive intensity modulated radiotherapy (total dose: \> 66 Gy, split dose: 2-2.2 Gy/ time, once a day, 5 times a week)
