Summary

This study is for people with early-stage HPV-related throat cancer. It tests whether giving a lower dose of radiation to the lymph nodes in the neck that are not directly affected by the cancer can maintain high cure rates while reducing side effects. About 100 participants will receive this lower-dose radiation and be followed for two years to see if the cancer stays away.
