NCT ID NCT07044635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a shorter, lower-dose course of radiation after robotic surgery can improve quality of life for people with HPV-related throat cancer. About 42 adults who have had robotic surgery will receive a reduced radiation schedule. The goal is to see if this approach keeps cancer under control while causing fewer side effects.
