The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the use of MRI simulations to plan different doses of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to the standard IMRT dose in patients with low risk human papilloma virus positive oropharyngeal cancer. This is an investigational study. MRI simulations and radiation therapy are delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The use of MRI imaging to plan the dose is investigational. Up to 90 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
