Immunotherapy series | Consensus best practice approaches to metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

Oncology Knowledge into Practice Podcast

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a relatively new treatment option for patients with metastatic, unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and so they have not yet been incorporated into clinical practice guidelines. For this reason, we interview Professor Frederic Peyrade, Head of Clinical Research and Professor of Oncology, Antoine Lacassagne Cancer Centre, France, to get expert advice on incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors into current treatment protocols.
