This trial is for adults with HPV-related stage I–II oropharyngeal squamous-cell cancer or an HPV-related neck node with unknown primary, planning transoral surgery and neck dissection. T1–T2 node-negative disease is excluded.

The idea: surgical pathology guides postoperative radiation. High-risk patients receive radiation plus cisplatin. Intermediate-risk patients are randomized among two radiation-only schedules or lower-dose radiation with cisplatin. Lowest- and highest-risk patients leave the trial for standard care. Researchers measure recurrence at two years.

This phase 2 study plans 142 patients. Douglas Adkins leads at Washington University in St. Louis; three US sites recruit.
