What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with untreated HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cancer, stage I–II, with lymph-node involvement and no distant spread. HPV in-situ hybridization confirmation is required.

The idea: ENLIGHT reduces radiation to uninvolved neck nodes while retaining the standard tumor dose. Patients receive seventy gray to gross tumor and thirty gray to the elective neck, over thirty-five weekday treatments in seven weeks. Chemotherapy is optional under usual care. Researchers track recurrence, survival, and side effects.

This phase 2 study plans 100 patients. Laila Gharzai leads at Northwestern, Chicago; two US sites recruit.
