Summary
By doing this study, our research team would like to learn if using a blood test that measures the amount of tumor DNA in blood can help guide how we use chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for individuals with head and neck cancer. Using this blood test, the research team hopes to learn if intermittent (occasional) chemotherapy added to immunotherapy will work better than immunotherapy alone. Your participation in this research will last about two years.
