First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with HPV-positive throat cancer can safely receive less intense treatment after surgery. Standard treatment often includes chemotherapy and radiation, which can cause long-term side effects. The goal is to see if scaling back or stopping some treatments still keeps the cancer from coming back, while improving quality of life for survivors.
