Summary

This study looks at whether people with advanced head and neck cancer who respond well to immunotherapy can have a smaller, less damaging surgery instead of the standard extensive surgery. The goal is to see if the smaller surgery can preserve quality of life and organ function without lowering survival rates. About 356 adults with stage III-IVa head and neck squamous cell carcinoma will take part.
