Leading expert presenters, at this a CME\/CE\/CPE-accredited live\/on-demand head and neck cancer Satellite Symposium, included: Dr. Ezra Cohen, M.D., UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center; Robert Ferris, M.D., Ph.D., UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and Quynh-Thu Le, M.D., Stanford University Department of Radiation Oncology.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft shadowed size-medium wp-image-2294 \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Webcast_Cohen-300x170.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HNCA Board member Dr. Cohen presented on the rapid emergence of immunotherapy from major trials to novel combinations. He explored the science supporting the integration of immune therapy in head and neck cancer patients, including evidence on immune- or targeted-immune combinations.<\/p>\n<p>These advances in treatment could not have been realized without head and neck cancer patients participating in clinical trials. HNCA encourages consideration of clinical trials and we have dedicated an entire section on our website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headandneck.org\">www.headandneck.org<\/a>, to understanding clinical trials and locating head and neck <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headandneck.org\/clinical-trials\/\">clinical trials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row table columns\">\n<div class=\"medium-6 y-buffer-10 x-buffer-10 cell v-center \">\n<p>During the Symposium, this video of head and neck cancer survivor Bill McCone was presented. Details of Bill\u2019s successful clinical trials immunotherapy treatment outcomes were discussed. Bill is our featured Cancer Survivor story for this October e-newsletter.
