Lower radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation to the neck is safe and effective for people with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. It may reduce side effects while still treating the cancer.

This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a less intense (de-escalated) radiation plan can work for certain people with HPV-related oropharyngeal throat cancer. It uses HPV blood testing and scans to help guide treatment, aiming to keep cancer control while reducing treatment side effects.
This study tests a way to use less radiation for HPV-related throat cancer. Doctors will adjust your treatment based on a simple blood test that tracks cancer DNA, so you may get only the treatment you need.
This trial tests a lower dose of radiation to certain neck areas for people with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if reducing radiation can cause fewer side effects while still curing the cancer.
This trial tests whether giving less radiation after surgery is safe and effective for people with early-stage HPV-related throat cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
This trial tests whether we can safely use lower doses of radiation for people with HPV-related throat cancer, while still targeting the areas that need it. The goal is to reduce side effects without lowering the chance of a cure.
This trial tests if giving less radiation along with chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
