Aim of the educational preceptorship Treatment options for patients with unresectable head and neck cancer have been significantly expanded over the last few years. Combined modality treatment with concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy represents the standard of care for patients with advanced head and neck cancer and the introduction of new molecular targeted therapies lead to a further improvement in treatment outcomes. This activity will offer the opportunity to learn from a recognized and experienced multidisciplinary team current therapeutic options for patients with advanced and metastatic head and neck cancer. Effective interaction between the multidisciplinary team and learners will be encouraged through clinical case discussion and practical sessions dedicated to treatment planning and delivery. Learning objectives At the end of the educational preceptorship, the learner will be able to: Define the methodology of the multidisciplinary approach in the clinical management of head and neck cancer patients Review current and novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of head and neck cancer patients Recognize the importance of supportive care in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer Target audience International medical oncologists, surgeons and radiation oncologists experienced in the management of head and neck cancer patients. Accreditation An application has been made to the EACCME for CME accreditation. EXCEMED adheres to the principles of the Good CME Practice Group (gcmep). 1
