Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to collect information from the questionnaire and medical records to see what effects proton radiation has on cancer and collect and analyze morbidity outcomes: incidence of xerostomia (dry mouth) and tumor control.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx (tonsillar pillars, tonsillar fossa, soft palate, base of tongue).
* Stage-grouping:

* Stage I (T1N0)
* Stage II (T2N0)
* Favorable Stage III (T1N1/T2N1) and selected stage IV (T1-T2 early N2b)2 or less lymph node and 2 or less cm diameter lymph node
* Unfavorable stage III and selected stage IV (any T, N2c/N3)
* Surgery of the primary tumor/lymph nodes is limited to incisional/excisional biopsies.
* Will receive treatment with proton radiation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Evidence of distant metastasis.
* Previous irradiation for head and neck cancer.
