In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to determine if HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma that is non-hypoxic on FMISO PET can be successfully treated with a lower dose of radiation therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the pathologic complete response rate in patients selected for radiation dose de-escalation and neck dissection? 2. What is the correlation between MRI and FMISO PET assessment of hypoxia before and during RT? 3. What are the acute and late toxicities in patients selected for radiation dose de-escalation? 4. What are the quality of life scores in patients selected for radiation dose de-escalation? 5. What are the local, regional and distant failure rates of patients selected for radiation dose de-escalation? Patients with cT1-2N1-2b (AJCC 7th edition) oropharyngeal tumours will undergo surgical resection of the primary
