April 6, 2012, Orin Smith Auditorium, UW Medicine, South Lake Union

This symposium has been designed to bring up-to-date scientific information to clinicians involved in the care of patients with head, neck, and thyroid cancer. A multidisciplinary panel of experts will discuss the most recent clinical innovations in their respective fields. These experts will foster discussion in order to expand the knowledge, skills, and performance of the participants. During each session, attendees will be exposed to new concepts and management protocols indicated in a variety of head, neck, and thyroid cancers. Among others, topics will include minimally invasive laser and robotic surgery, management of side-effects of current chemoradiation protocols, innovation in radiation delivery, and new paradigms in thyroid cancers. Our goal is that participants will be able to apply the newly acquired knowledge, techniques and protocols, and maximizing benefits to their cancer patients.
