[AME]2024 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancers Symposium onDemand (Videos)

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.
