RECRUITING

Shortened Course Adjuvant Radiotherapy Following TORS

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a single-arm, phase II study to establish the safety of reducing radiation dose in selected HPV-Associated OPSCC patients receiving adjuvant radiation after TORS and neck dissection. This protocol also allows for sparing of the primary resection bed, in appropriate patients, as previously published by our group and found to be safe and effective.

Official Title

A Phase II Study of Shortened Course, Dose De-Intensified Adjuvant Radiotherapy Following Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and Neck Dissection for HPV-Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
