Summary

This study tests whether giving less radiation after surgery for certain head and neck cancers can reduce long-term side effects like trouble swallowing, without increasing the chance of cancer coming back. About 508 adults who have had surgery and need standard post-operative radiation will be randomly assigned to receive radiation to a smaller area or the usual larger area. The goal is to improve quality of life while keeping the cancer under control.
