Dr. On May 12, Dr. Ezra Cohen joined us on GRACE for a webinar. Dr.Cohen is an associate professor at the University of Chicago where he specializes in medical oncology for patients with lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Dr. Cohen's talk came the day after Dr. Lin explained the role of radiation after surgery for head and neck cancer. Dr. Lin explained to us why some patients benefit from radiation after surgery to reduce recurrence risk. In this webinar, Dr.Cohen expanded on this subject, explaining that some patients who benefit from radiation after surgery will have even lower recurrence rates when chemotherapy is given together with the radiation.

On May 11, Dr. Alex Lin, a radiation oncologist from the University of Pennsylvania, joined us on GRACE to give a webinar. Dr. Lin’s practice and research focus on radiation therapy for lung cancer and cancers of the head and neck. His talk focuses on the use of adjuvant radiation therapy in the treatment of head and neck cancer. Patients with head and neck cancer are treated with either surgery or radiation as curative therapy. Many patients who are treated with surgery can be treated with additional radiation therapy to increase their cure rate after the surgery (adjuvant therapy). Dr. Lin provides here an excellent introduction to what radiation is, how it is given, and who should get it in the adjuvant setting. dr-lin-rad-onc-hn-cancer-radiation-intro-audio-podcast dr-lin-rad-onc-hn-cancer-radiation-intro-figures dr-lin-rad-onc-hn-cancer-radiation-intro-transcript After we post the podcast of the Q&A session that followed this presentation by Dr. Lin, we'll post another podcast by Dr. Ezra Cohen, medical oncologist at the University of Chicago, on chemotherapy in the post-operative setting for head/neck cancer.
