INTRODUCTION

A LETTER OF WELCOME FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIRPERSONS

The 7th edition of the International Congress on Innovative Approaches in Head and Neck Oncology (ICHNO) is taking place in Barcelona, Spain from 14-16 March 2019. The European SocieTy for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), the European Head and Neck Society (EHNS) and the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) have the pleasure to invite you to participate in this congress. This biennial congress promises once again to provide a unique platform for the dissem- ination of the most relevant and cutting-edge science and innovation in the field of head and neck oncology. This congress has been shaping up to be a major international event in promoting multidisciplinarity in head and neck oncology. With major emphasis on multidisciplinarity and innovation, this meeting will specifically cover the following main topics: • New insights in the epidemiology and prevention of head and neck cancer • Oncogenesis, HPV related cancers, immunology and vaccination • Updated results of practice changing randomised trials • Multidisciplinary management of head and neck cancers • Molecular targeted therapies and molecular imaging • Novel radiation and surgical treatments • Towards individualised management of head and neck cancer • Robotic and minimally invasive surgery • Reconstructive and salvage surgery • Elderly patients, comorbidities and their impact on management • New insight in systemic treatments of head and neck cancers • Thyroid, nasopharynx cancers and rare head and neck cancers • Quality of life, supportive care and management of treatment side effects The format of the meeting will include prestigious invited ‘state of the art lectures’; lectures on the latest innovative approaches; proffered papers and poster presentations of new data in the field of head and neck oncology. The programme will be enriched by pro and contra debates and interactive tumour board sessions where the audience will have the possibility to participate and share their input via an electronic voting system. Ample time will be

given for discussions to allow in-depth interaction among the various disciplines and the participants. To stimulate multidisciplinary interactions among the various specialists, all the lectures, debates, tumour boards and proferred papers will be given in the same congress room. We hope that the mix of a rich and challenging scientific programme coupled with the en- ticing atmosphere of the city of Barcelona will convince you to attend this 7th International Congress on Innovative Approaches in Head and Neck Oncology.

reserves the right to re-categorise the abstract. • Presentation preference: authors should indicate the presentation preference (oral, poster or no preference). Please note that the final decision on the pres- entation format rests with the Scientific Committee. • Keywords: authors are required to provide 1 to 3 keywords (different from category). • Title: Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract. The title (maximum 100 characters) is important since it focuses attention (it is the “showcase” for the presentation). Do not use capital letters in the title except for words that are always capitalised and do not use non-standard abbreviations. • Body of the abstract: Abstracts should be structured in such a way as to include (1) Purpose/Objective; (2) Material/ methods; (3) Results (4) Conclusion. - The on-line abstract submission pro- cedure: the on-line abstract submis- sion system will not accept abstracts that exceed 3,000 characters (body of the abstract, including spaces). - The use of standard abbreviations is desirable. A special or unusual abbreviation must be placed (in round brackets) after the first appearance of the word for which it stands. - Table and image: with their submis- sion authors may include maximum two (2) uploads (tables or images) in JPG, PNG or TIFF formats. These up- loads are not included in the number of characters. The maximum pixel

size of an image is 600(w) x 800 (h) pixel. • Data table: authors may include one data table using the insert table icon (we advise not to copy-paste a table into the body of the abstract). The characters in a data table are included in the overall number of characters allowed. • Equations: can be inserted in the text as images. ABSTRACT SELECTION PROCESS Abstracts submitted for presentation will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in the field of the subject. Abstract review criteria are based on clarity, supporting data, scientific rigour, potential significance, interest in the topic chosen and innovation or usefulness. Research obviously not yet performed and results not yet obtained will be banned. Abstracts will be selected for one of the following presentation formats: • Oral presentation: the abstract is select- ed for oral presentation at any of the proffered paper sessions. • Poster presentation: abstracts that have been selected for presentation in a post- er format. The posters are grouped by topic and are displayed throughout the meeting. Withdrawal of an abstract: Abstracts submitted for the 7th ICHNO congress can be withdrawn until 1 November 2018. (To withdraw your abstract you
