Optimizing the Management of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck With Immunotherapeutic Strategies

Optimizing the Management of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck With Immunotherapeutic Strategies

Drs Weiss and Burtness discuss the latest immunotherapeutic strategies in the management of head and neck cancers.

 

The goal of this initiative is to update clinicians about the evidence base on cancer immunotherapies, including the role of biomarkers, and provide guidance on applying these data to improve performance and increase confidence in integrating immunotherapeutic regimens into practice.

 

This activity is intended for oncologists, otolaryngologists, and pathologists on the SCCHN care team.

 

 

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Have increased knowledge regarding the
    • Current treatment paradigm for metastatic SCCHN
    • Key clinical trial data evaluating immune-modulating therapies for the treatment of SCCH
  • Demonstrate greater confidence in their ability to
    • Integrate key clinical trial data into practice for the treatment of patients with SCCHN 

Approximate Time to Complete: 30 minutes
