Could less radiation be just as good for HPV throat cancer?
NCT ID NCT05387915
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a lower dose of radiation after robotic surgery can help people with HPV-positive throat cancer have fewer side effects, like trouble swallowing, while still controlling the cancer. About 33 adults with this type of cancer will receive the reduced radiation and be followed for one year to check their swallowing function and cancer outcomes. The goal is to improve quality of life without making the cancer more likely to return.
