Description: The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer is rapidly increasing. Given the oncologic outcomes for this disease, there is great interest in rationally de-escalating treatment for some patients. The panelists on this webinar will present current data from clinical trials that describe options for treatment de-escalation. The panel discussion will present real world cases, and provide the audience with an opportunity to understand the application and limitations of these data in the management of patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
