Summary

This study looks at whether a lower-dose version of standard chemo-radiation can work just as well for people with HPV-positive throat cancer after robotic surgery, while causing fewer side effects. About 40 patients will receive a tailored treatment plan based on their risk level. The goal is to see if this gentler approach keeps cancer from coming back and improves quality of life.
