HPV HEAD & NECK FORUM
Sunday, May 30, 2021
Coordinators: E. Rettig (USA), P. Klussmann (Germany)
The EUROGIN HPV and Head & Neck Cancer Forum highlights recent advances and areas of active research in the field of HPV-related head and neck cancers. This year’s Forum features the emerging role of biomarkers in screening and management of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer, updates from deintensification trials and other therapeutic innovations, and a dedicated session focusing on molecular & immunologic considerations.
A dedicated debate session will focus on the controversies regarding the impact of HPV infection on oro-pharyngeal cancer, including diagnosis, management and decision making.
