Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this live activity, attendees should be able to do the following:

  • Explain the importance of multidisciplinary care in head and neck cancer (HNC) and how to best apply it for optimal outcomes.
  • Describe key advances in systemic therapy, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy in HNC.
  • Discuss recent advances in minimally invasive surgery in HNC and when to apply it in treating early and locally advanced disease.
  • Illustrate how we can improve disparities in head and neck cancer care.
  • Determine the importance of interventions in survivorship clinics for long term side effects.
  • Describe key advances in radiation therapy delivery, targeting and differences between various modalities, including novel treatment approaches such as proton and FLASH radiotherapy.
  • Discuss complex cases in HNC and how to best utilize current knowledge for decision-making.
  • Manage toxicities related to the management of head and neck cancer.
  • Summarize key recent advances in HNC biology.
  • Summarize key recent advances in HNC imaging.
  • Discuss and implement standard treatment guidelines for various subtypes of HNCs.
