The random number sequence create by SAS statistical software and patients randomly allocated to intervention and control groups according to their entrance order. The random allocation will conceal by opaque, sealed envelopes, Blinding description: According to type of intervention, patients are not blind in this study, but data analyser and outcome assessor are blind. for data analysis, intervention and control groups are labeled with A and B and outcome assessor will follow up patients based on alphabetic list of names without name of groups.</study_design>

Patients in this group treating by hyperfraction radiation therapy, with a total dose of 8160 cGy in 68 fractions, with a dose of 120 cGy perfraction twice daily, with an interval of at least six hours between each fractions(according to the technique and dose that used in the phase 3 RTOG9003 trial) five days per week by Linear accelerator radiation therapy machine, with concurrent chemotherapy of low-dose Intravenous Carboplatin(equivalent to 1.5 AUC) one day weekly, for total treatment duration of 7 weeks. Intervention 2: Control group: receiving hyperfractionated irradiation. Patients in this group treating by hyperfraction radiation therapy, with a total dose of 8160 cGy in 68 fractions, with a dose of 120 cGy perfraction twice daily, with an interval of at least six hours between each fractions(according to the technique and dose that used in the phase 3 RTOG9003 trial) five days per week by Linear accelerator radiation therapy machine, fot total treatment duration of 7 weeks.</i_freetext>
