Shared decision making is a vital part of patient-centered care, especially when facing the complex choices that come with head and neck cancer treatment and survivorship. This session brings together a physician, a nurse practitioner, a medical director of palliative care, and a survivor to explore how collaborative conversations between patients, caregivers, and providers can lead to more personalized and value informed care. Panelists will offer practical guidance on how to approach difficult decisions, discuss goals of care, and ensure that patient voices remain at the center of every cancer care decision.
