Following the great webinar by Dr. Ezra Cohen from the University of Chicago on adjuvant therapy for head and neck cancer, with a focus on systemic therapy, we had the chance to ask some questions.  Here is the question and answer session following that webinar.

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.

Here are the links to the audio and video podcasts, the transcript, and the figures for the program
