Brief Summary: In this study the safety feasibility of image-guided mid-treatment hyper-fractioned dose-escalation with proton therapy will be assessed for the treatment of locally advanced HPV-negative squamous cell oropharyngeal cancer
Detailed Description: For this study the investigators propose a novel design to safely achieve tumor radiation dose escalation with proton therapy plus standard-of-care concomitant chemotherapy Through mid-treatment image guidance the tumor boost dose is determined subsequently only that GTV boost will receive a total dose of 80 Gy through hybrid hyperfractionation This refers to twice-daily radiation in the last 15 fraction days The combination of boost dose hyperfractionation and proton therapy is anticipated to prevent critical normal tissue damage within both the high- and intermediate-dose regions This novel treatment approach aims to minimize critical toxicities while improving locoregional control for head and neck cancer patients who are at a higher risk of disease relapse
