Study Arms (2)

Concurrent chemoradiation + adjuvant chemotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy plus capecitabine adjuvant chemotherapy

Drug: IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy plus capecitabine adjuvant chemotherapy

Concurrent chemoradiation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy

Drug: IMRT combine with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy

Interventions

Patients in the control arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) every three weeks for three cycles during RT.

Concurrent chemoradiation

Patients in the experimental arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1) every three weeks for three cycles during RT,followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with oral capecitabine(1000mg/m2/ twice a day for 14 days)every three weeks for eight cycles.
