Head and neck cancer in 2010: Maximizing survival and minimizing toxicity

Bruce E Brockstein et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal cancer are determined by their tumor characteristics and associated demographics. The role of human papilloma virus-related disease for prognosis and outcomes with chemoradiotherapy is being more clearly defined. EGFR inhibitors are used in conjunction with radiotherapy, and the importance of optimizing radiation quality and minimizing toxicity is the focus of ongoing studies.
