Personalized Radiation Therapy
for Throat Cancer
The researchers are doing this study to find out if a personalized approach to chemoradiation therapy (which may include a lower dose of radiation) is as effective as the standard chemoradiation therapy in people with HPV-positive throat cancer. Other purposes of this study include looking at the following: * Whether a lower dose of radiation in combination with standard chemotherapy causes fewer side effects than the standard dose of radiation therapy in combination with standard chemotherapy * How the study approaches (lower dose of radiation therapy + standard chemotherapy and standard dose of radiation therapy + standard chemotherapy) affect participants' quality of life. The researchers will measure quality of life by having participants fill out questionnaires.

MRI vs CT
for Radiation Therapy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently one of the standard diagnostic imaging methods used to diagnose tumor stage before treatment in the Radiation Oncology Department. It is also used to check responses to radiation after treatment. However, MRI isn't traditionally used in planning for radiation treatment or in checking treated tumor and tissue changes during radiation treatment. The goal is to find out the possible benefits of MRI imaging techniques in these settings of radiation treatment. The research aims are to study the possibility of using devices with new abilities such as the MR-Linac. The MR-Linac combines a radiation treatment machine with a diagnostic MRI scanner. This device will improve the quality of MRI-guided radiation treatment. The MR-Linac has functions that are currently not available in other combined imaging and radiation delivery devices. The MR-Linac does not provide additional imaging capabilities that are not currently available in other imaging devices. Participating in this study would NOT change the current treatment plans, this will allow the investigators to use the MRI methods in research and future patient care.
