Summary

This study seeks to study the population of HPV-related oropharynx cancer patients that appear to be at highest risk for treatment failure with loco-regional failure and distant metastases including cT4 or cN3. The study team aims to determine if it is feasible to use multi-modality imaging (both DCE MRI and FDG-PET) to optimize the radiation boost in high risk p16+ OPSCC with similar or decreased toxicity compared to historic standard therapy.

Conditions

  • Oropharynx Cancer
  • HPV-Related Carcinoma

Interventions

RADIATION

Radiation

Patients will undergo 2 phases of RT replanning: 1. Based on 2-week DCE-MRI low BV tumor subvolume, patients will have a PTVboost1 that will start to receive 2.5Gy/day with fraction 16. PTVboost1=(persistent lowBVsubvolume\_2 wks+ MTV3\_2 weeks)+ 3mm margin. 2. Based on 4-week FDG-PET MTV3, patients with have a PTVboost2 cone down that will receive 2.5Gy/day starting with fraction 23. PTVboost2=(LBV\_2 wks + MTV3\_4wks)+ 3mm margin 3. Thus, the tumor subvolumes that are included in the boost from fx16-35 will receive 86 Gy EQD2 (80Gy physical dose) and the FDG-avid subvolumes which start boost at 2 weeks but are not persistently avid at 4 wks will receive 76Gy EQD2 (74Gy physical dose).

DRUG
