INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON HPV AND HEAD & NECK CANCER
Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019 • Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019
Coordinators: L. Alemany (Spain), C. Fakhry (USA)
The EUROGIN HPV and Head & Neck Cancer Forum highlights areas of active investigation in the field of HPV and head and neck cancers. This year's forum will offer an extended review of screening for early cancer detection that will occupy two sessions, molecular characterization and potential biomarkers for prognosis and monitoring of HPV related oropharyngeal cancer patients, new insights on emerging treatment strategies and the role of HPV in benign disease such as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
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.

HPV and RRP (recurent respiratory papillomatosis)

14:00 - 15:30 |

Recurrent Respiratory Papilloma (RRP) is a benign disease affecting the larynx of children and adults caused by infection with low-risk HPV 6 or 11. The need for recurrent surgery and its devastating effects on voice and breathing make treating this disease a great challenge. This session highlights collaborative research efforts that attempt to overcome the challenges of treating a rare and orphan disease. Multi-institutional efforts are ongoing in the natural history of disease, genetics, immunology, and novel therapeutics in the search for effective therapies.
