Primary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate a possible protective effect of bismuth on the mucous membranes during chemotherapy and radiotherapy [ Time Frame: daily during treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To identify the effect of bismuth on the regulation of metallothionein in tumour tissue and healthy tissue, respectively [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	50
Study Start Date:	May 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	February 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
