Summary
This study tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug toripalimab with chemotherapy before standard treatment can shrink HPV-related throat cancer tumors by at least half. About 30 people with advanced HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer will receive the drug combo, then either robotic surgery or reduced-intensity radiation based on how well the tumor responded. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the need for aggressive treatment while still controlling the disease.
