6th Annual Stanford Cancer Center Head & Neck Cancer Patient and Caregiver Education Symposium
2023
Our program on April 22 included information about innovative updates in the treatment of head and neck cancer, suggestions for dealing with the physical and emotional consequences of cancer and its treatment, and the opportunity to connect with others who have had or support someone who has had head and neck cancer. Highlights included a talk on how patients and healthcare providers can work together to improve the patient care experience by Dr. Justin Roe of the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, a talk on lymphedema by world-renowned lymphedema expert Dr. Stanley Rockson, and insight into the new HPV DNA testing methods presented by Dr. Chris Holsinger.
