2023 Surgery Grand Rounds | Bryan and Helga Isaacs Distinguished Lectureship in Head and Neck Cancer at City of Hope: Developing Biomarkers to Predict Outcome in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Duarte, CA US
August 10, 2023

Helga Isaacs was a patient with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), cured of her disease but fraught with life-long complications associated with her prior cancer therapies. Although she was without cancer, she was a speech and swallow disabled person, and this impacted every aspect of her life. This activity is inspired by her memory and our commitment to improve our understanding of her disease and betterment of our treatment strategies for head and neck cancer patients to better serve our patients’ overall happiness and fulfillment in life. 

There is a need for up-to-date trends on diagnosis and management of head and neck cancer patients. Discussion of state-of-the-art science and technologies, report on clinical trials and pertinent research is imperative to keep our clinicians abreast of ideal practice. Opportunities for new research collaborations through this activity will increase knowledge, competence, and performance.

Target Audience

The head and neck cancers multidisciplinary team: surgeons, NP’s, PA’s, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, immunologists, radiologists and all other health care professionals interested in this subject matter.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the role of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) as a biomarker of therapeutic outcome in HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.
  • Examine how tumor genetic progression with the identification of early genetic events can be inferred with high accuracy through exome sequencing and PhylogicNDT analysis of established tumors, even in cancers with unobtainable premalignant tissue.
