Head and Neck Forum - Recurrent metastatic HPV related cancer
•
5B
The case of recurrent metastatic HPV-related cancer is an intriguing field in head and neck oncology.
It deals with epidemiological changes, as the rate of HPV-positive cancers is increasing also in elderly population. The translational research is making real progress, both in terms of biomarkers for detection of recurrence and in identifying molecular determinants of response in locally advanced diseases.
Moreover, immunotherapeutic strategies are particularly appealing in HPV-positive cancers, representing a possible more inflamed substrate.
Therefore, the session will discuss all these topics in a comprehensively manner, with speakers having a great experience in this field of work.
