Conclusion: Concomitant boost postoperative radition therapy did not improove overall survival, loco-regional control, disease free survival. Patients with close surgical margins, longer interval between surgery and radiation, high level of hemoglobin, T4 had benefi t from accelerated radiotherapy.<br/><br/>
