For many patients with advanced head and neck cancer, the judicious combination of multiple treatment modalities provides the most effective therapy approach. The therapeutic goals are cure and preservation or restoration of form and function. As treatment options advance and new technologies are implemented, there is a greater need for the interactive multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. This model will bring together physician specialists from around the world for interdisciplinary discussions on the latest research and state-of-the-art care in head and neck cancer.
