In the researchers' words

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of treating participants with HPV-mediated oropharyngeal cancer, with less treatment, using the new staging system. The investigators believe this treatment will provide the same effectiveness as the usual treatment, but decrease the side effects. The radiation doses, chemotherapy doses, and the type of surgical approaches that will be used in this treatment protocol have all been previously investigated. Previous research suggests that this can be done safely, but there has not been a study done basing treatment on the new staging system.
