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.
