• The IC drugs are widely available and relatively cheap so removing many potential economic barriers to adoption.
• Growth factors -GCSF/Filgrastim should be used as needed to ensure patients complete the chemotherapy (IC & cisplatin)
• Essential to BEGIN the external beam radiation within 7 days of last dose ( #6) of IC.
