Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A randomised trial consisting of arms A and B. Both arms commence induction chemotherapy Day 1 Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 + Carboplatin AUC 5 Day 8 Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 Day 22 Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 + Carboplatin AUC 5 Day 29 Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 with Concurrent treatment, radiation and Gemcitabine treatment.
Arm A will receive External beam radiation, 30 Gy/15 fractions/5 per week with Gemcitabine 200mg weekly with fractions days 43, 50 & 57 given 5 or more hours prior to the radiation. Arm B will receive External beam radiation, 30 Gy/15 fractions/5 per week with Gemcitabine 200mg weekly with fractions days 43, 50 & 57 given within 3 hours or less prior to the radiation.
