A Clinical Outcomes Protocol of Photon/Proton Beam Radiation Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancers

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.

This is an outcomes study and is designed to collect information from the questionnaire and
medical records to see what effects proton radiation has on cancer and collect and analyze
