FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves polychemotherapy followed by radiation therapy (RT) with underlying plant-based mouth rinsing and oral administration of Colegel with Derinat and Lidocaine 3 times a day and more often. The polychemotherapy is performed by no more than 2 courses with the radiation started not earlier than in 10-15 days after the polychemotherapy to total basic dose 66-70 Gy and with peripheral blood of an exposed patient analysed for lymphocyte count once in 10 days and more often. If lymphocyte count is 1.2×10⁹/l or less, the following RT sessions are carried out with underlying additional intensive local and system therapy, or the therapy is interrupted for the hemostimulation therapy.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows preventing severity gain in a radiation involvement of oropharyngeal mucosa due to well-timed intensification of local and system therapy, performing a radical RT course and improving clinical effectiveness.
