SYMPOSIUM
New paradigm in HNSCC
14:45 - 16:00 | AUDITORIUM
The treatment of head and neck cancer has been changing in the last decade. New
markers have been identified giving options to treatment adaptation. The prevalence
of HPV tumours in the oropharyngeal region is driving changes in volume definition,
role of surgery and in potential de escalation in radiotherapy. The integration of these
new concepts will be debated during the symposium.
Chair: E. Lartigau (France)
Co-chair: P. Dubinsky (Slovakia)
