Summary
This study is for people with HPV-related oropharynx (throat) cancer. It uses a PET/CT scan taken during radiation treatment to see if the cancer is responding well. If it is, doctors will lower the radiation dose for the rest of treatment. The goal is to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer. About 120 adults with early-stage disease will take part.
