Clinical Oncology: Head and Neck Cancers

On demand lectures available from 10 May 2021

Chair: Lisa Licitra, IT
 
The online course on head and neck cancers is addressed to an International audience of clinical oncologists interested in advancing their knowledge and skills on the clinical management of these tumors in a multidisciplinary context.
 
Taking into account that “networking” is the keyword  to improve quality of care of rare cancers, the course is developed in the framework of EURACAN, the European Reference Network on rare adult solid cancers, with the aim of reinforcing  the collaboration among oncologists of different countries who are already part of the network or willing to be part of it in the near future.
 
The course will also be part of the “Career development educational pathway on Rare Adult Solid Cancers” (more information about the full educational programme on rare cancers will be published on the ESO website in the coming months).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES 
- To provide an overview of current multidisciplinary state-of-the-art treatment of head and neck cancers
- To establish connections for future distance clinical mentoring/tutoring/networking 
PARTICIPANT'S PROFILE
• Medical degree

• Fluency in English
OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
The official language will be English. No translation will be provided.
CME ACCREDITATION CERTIFICATES

Application for CME recognition has been submitted to the Accreditation Council of Oncology in Europe (ACOE) and 10 CME credits have been granted to this event. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Accreditation Council for Continuous Medical Education (ACCME) designate this type of educational activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA category 1 credits per hour of activity.
