NCT ID NCT03822897

Summary

This study is testing whether doctors can safely give less radiation to certain lymph node areas in patients with a specific type of throat cancer linked to HPV. The goal is to reduce treatment side effects like trouble swallowing and dry mouth without increasing the risk of the cancer coming back. It involves 103 adults with early-stage cancer who are eligible for standard radiation treatment.
