* Nodal stage (AJCC 8th edition): N0, N1, or N2
* For patients who may require chemotherapy (ie, patients with multiple lymph nodes positive or a single node more than 3 cm in size, in any plane, CBC/differential within 4 weeks prior to randomization with adequate bone marrow function, hepatic, and renal function defined as: Hemoglobin = 80 g/L; Absolute neutrophil count = 1.5 x 10 9/L, platelets = 100 x 10 9/L, bilirubin = 35 umol/L, AST or ALT = 3 x the upper limit of normal; serum creatinine = 130 umol/L or creatinine clearance = 50 ml/min
* patients assessed at head and neck multidisciplinary clinic (with assessment by radiation oncologist and surgeon) and presented at multidisciplinary tumor board prior to randomization
