Summary

Investigators will determine whether a treatment paradigm of up-front neck dissection, to more accurately pathologically stage patients, minimizing the number of treatment modalities in patients with low risk oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, can improve quality of life.

Conditions

  • Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Neck Dissection

All patients will undergo neck dissection of the cervical lymph nodes

PROCEDURE

Standard-of-Care (SOC) Transoral Surgery of Primary Site

Patients with a single lymph node that measures less than six centimeters, have no extracapsular extension in the lymph node, and have no perineural or perivascular invasion of the primary biopsy will undergo transoral surgery of the primary site.

RADIATION

SOC Radiation

Patients who have 2 positive nodes with no extracapsular extension, or have perineural or perivascular invasion of the primary biopsy will undergo radiation.

DRUG

SOC Carboplatin

Patients who have extracapsular extension in any number of lymph nodes or in those patients in whom negative margins are unable to be obtained after the completion of transoral surgery will undergo chemoradiation (Radiation, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel).

DRUG

SOC Paclitaxel

Patients who have extracapsular extension in any number of lymph nodes or in those patients in whom negative margins are unable to be obtained after the completion of transoral surgery will undergo chemoradiation (Radiation, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel).

PROCEDURE

Videofluoroscopy

All patients undergo a videofluoroscopy procedure one year after completion of therapy to assess swallowing function.
