Radiotherapy alone for human papillomavirus-related squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx: a single-arm, phase 2 study

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (OPSCC) is extremely radiosensitive. Radiotherapy plus high-dose cisplatin remains the standard of care but causes long-term toxicity. Treatment de-intensification approaches that reduce toxicity while maintaining survival are desirable for HPV-related OPSCC.
