Head & Neck Cancer clinical trials: common questions
The things people most often ask about head & neck cancer trials.
A meaningful share of cancers arising at the back of the throat (the oropharynx, including the tonsils and base of the tongue) are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection rather than smoking or alcohol. HPV-associated cancers are biologically distinct: they generally respond better to treatment and have better outlooks. As a result, HPV-positive and HPV-negative head and neck cancers are now studied as effectively separate diseases.
The information above is general in nature. Always discuss specific trial options and treatment decisions with your oncologist or treating team.
