First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study is for people with HPV-positive head and neck cancer who have had surgery and normally need radiation or chemoradiation afterward. Researchers want to see if giving a lower radiation dose can reduce long-term side effects without increasing the chance of the cancer coming back. About 304 participants will receive a reduced radiation dose, and some may also get chemotherapy depending on their specific risk factors.
