2024 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium Credit Evaluation
The 2024 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium is a two-and-a-half-day meeting featuring interactive and case-based educational sessions that cover new multidisciplinary therapies, imaging, immunotherapy, treatment guidelines, supportive care and understanding disparities in head and neck cancer. A major focus is placed on the multidisciplinary nature of disease management and the incorporation of all treatment modalities to achieve best outcomes. Oral abstract and poster sessions will highlight cutting-edge science and evidence-based practice. Attendees will be able to examine multidisciplinary approaches for treating head and neck cancer, as well as novel therapies that show promise in improving outcomes.
Target Audience
This meeting is designed to meet the interests of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, physicists, nurses, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, speech language pathologists/scientists, dentists, oral surgeons, swallowing and speech therapists, audiologists, physical therapists, scientists, immunologist and rehabilitation specialists.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this live activity, participants should be able to:
- Explain the importance of multidisciplinary care in 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 HNC 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.
