Session

Overview: Attendees can anticipate a scientific symposium encompassing critical aspects of head and neck cancer care. Topics will include an examination of how socioeconomic factors impact treatment outcomes, along with discussions on strategies aimed at reducing the observed survival gap. Presentations will also analyze the prevalence of cisplatin ineligibility among elderly patients and the varied care patterns observed globally. Potential treatment intensification strategies, particularly in the context of HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers, will be explored. Additionally, the session will provide insights into the radiobiological mechanisms contributing to treatment resistance in squamous cell carcinoma, with a focus on identifying potential biomarkers and personalized therapeutic approaches.
