Summary
This study is for people with HPV-positive throat cancer, a type that usually responds well to treatment. After robotic surgery to remove the tumor, participants receive a lower dose of radiation than the standard amount. The goal is to see if this gentler approach can still control the cancer while reducing long-term problems like trouble swallowing, improving quality of life. About 33 adults are taking part in this phase 2 trial.
