Summary
This study looked at whether a personalized, less aggressive treatment after surgery could lower side effects for people with HPV-related throat cancer. 63 patients had surgery to remove their tumor and nearby lymph nodes, then received additional therapy based on their risk of the cancer coming back. The goal was to maintain cancer control while reducing problems like weight loss, the need for a feeding tube, and kidney damage.
