Summary

This study looks at whether a lower-dose version of standard chemo-radiation can work just as well for people with HPV-positive throat cancer after robotic surgery, while causing fewer side effects. About 40 patients who have had or will have surgery to remove their cancer will receive a tailored course of cisplatin-based chemoradiation. The goal is to keep the cancer from coming back while making treatment easier to tolerate.
