Current Studies
Clinical trials advance medical treatment and therapy to increase survival and quality of life.
Research improves the standard of care as we develop protocols to improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of health conditions throughout the body.
Successful treatments we know today are the result of past clinical trials.

Purpose
This randomized phase II/III trial studies the side effects and how well intensity-modulated proton beam therapy works and compares it to intensity-modulated photon therapy in treating patients with stage III-IVB oropharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays, protons, and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known whether intensity-modulated proton beam therapy is more effective than intensity-modulated photon therapy in treating oropharyngeal cancer.
