Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is being done to learn about how the participants lungs and heart are working after treatment for throat cancer. The investigators are looking to see if there is a long-term impact on overall health from the cancer treatment. The long-term goal of this study is to compare the participants overall quality of life to similarly aged people who have not had throat cancer.

- long-term survivors of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer
- description
- This is a cross-sectional pilot study of long-term survivors of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer treated with CTRT who are at least three years from treatment completion. This study consists of a onetime assessment of cardiopulmonary fitness, physical function status, measurement of lean body mass, endothelial function quality of life assessment, medical history and blood laboratory evaluation for traditional cardiac risk factors, endocrine derangement and inflammation.
