Study Title

Intensity-Modulated Proton Beam Therapy or Intensity-Modulated Photon Therapy in Treating Patients with Stage III-IVB Oropharyngeal Cancer

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.
